The Mind of the Spirit: Paul's Approach to Transformed Thinking

The Mind of the Spirit: Paul's Approach to Transformed Thinking by Keener, Craig S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780801097768.

Leading Scholar Explores Pauls Teaching on the Mind This major work by a leading New Testament scholar explores an important but neglected area of Pauline theology, Pauls teaching about the mind. In discussing matters such as the corrupted mind, the mind of Christ, and the renewal of the mind, Paul adapts language from popular intellectual thought in his day, but he does so in a way distinctively focused on Christ and Christs role in the believers transformation. Keener enables readers to understand this thought world so they can interpret Pauls language for contemporary Christian life. The book helps overcome a false separation between following the Spirit and using human judgment and provides a new foundation for relating biblical studies and Christian counseling.
