Loving God with all your mind : thinking as a Christian in the postmodern world / Gene Edward Veith. - Rev. ed. - Wheaton, Ill. : Crossway Books, 2003. - 160 p. ; 22 cm.
Original edition copyright 2003 by Gene Edward Veith, Jr.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 157-160).
pt. 1. Getting educated as a Christian vocation. Education and the Bible -- The university of Babylon -- pt. 2. The modern and the postmodern mind. The attacks against Christianity -- The exclusion of God -- Traditionalists and progressives -- The moral issues -- Intellectual combat -- pt. 3. The Christian mind. The communion of the saints -- The magicians and the enchanters -- Creation and creativity -- Christianity as an intellectual framework -- Conclusion: loving God with all your mind.
Our world is alive with fascinating new ideas, discoveries, and technologies. But for Christians this can also present problems -- especially when the values of postmodernism and secular university life conflict with basic Christian principles. What should Christians do when their beliefs come under attack in the classroom or the public square? Loving God with All Your Mind shows us that the answer is neither wholesale rejection of intellectual life and culture, nor blind acceptance of it. The answer lies in understanding that Jesus is Lord of all of life and that everything in life must be carefully viewed in the light of what Christ's lordship means. Gene Edward Veith unfolds a dazzling critique of the postmodern intellectual world and culture. He affirms the part that is good and true, but he also shows crucial weaknesses in the beliefs that have such a hold over contemporary thought. This book shows Christians how to survive and flourish in a postmodern world while affirming the truth of the Christian faith.
