Our intellectual context is very complicated. There are competing pedagogues, divergent epistemological agendas, and flawed participants. The mind is a warzone. The Old Testament depicts a battlefield between the sinful mind and God's revelation.Today, many Christians minimize the intellect and do not recognize how sin impacts thinking. Many do not know how to love God with the mind. Many suffer from anti-intellectual inertia. They think like consumers shopping for knowledge, learning formats, and instructors that conform to their buying preferences. They prefer junk food for their minds. They often fulfill the role assigned to them by the world--intellectual simplicity, private religiosity, and subjective spirituality.By comprehensively examining Old Testament teaching concerning the mind, this book promotes a spirituality that puts thinking in its proper place. It explains what God requires intellectually of his vice-regents. It shows that our world is a labyrinth, but that God's revelation is our reliable guide. This book motivates readers to strive for mental piety, wisdom, and intellectual development, for the glory of God and the fulfillment of our mandate on earth. Readers will learn from their ancient brethren how to better steward their minds.… (altro)

This book came so late as an early review it passed the window for me to read it, and so didn’t get read. Perhaps at some point I will go back and read it, but it sorta missed its chance by not coming within the allotted time frame.

I agree with Smith that the majority of Christians today know very little regarding what they believe and why they believe it. Our ability to think deeply has decreased significantly for many complex reasons. We no longer focus on any topic very long, let alone subjects requiring contemplation. Smith does well engaging this problem. However, he writing feels designed for the academy. If he wishes to impact the average person, his vocabulary must be adjusted to reach them.

The Evangelical Church in American has lost its ability to think and reason the Introduction to this book declares. No arguments there, but this dense treatise may not be the answer that problem. Writing style is dense, heavily footnoted, and thus better oriented to be textbook in a Seminary level class. Recommended for those that are willing to read deeply and discuss with others. ( )

Based on scripture from Genesis to Revelation, Such a Mind as This sets out to explain how the mind is important in Christian faith and encourage us to use it! The first chapters explain the Eden of setting and ideal use of our minds, the next chapters are of sin’s destruction to our intended ways of thinking. In the final portion the author considers redemption and redeeming themes within the Old Testament. From learning, and listening to repenting and obeying, and focusing on love, the fundamental use of the mind is to know God- through all these things. I appreciated the various and thorough biblical examples as well as the use of wide swathes of Scripture to illustrate the point of the importance of the mind as Christians. Though the book focuses on the Old Testament, the New Testament applications and connections are clear.  I also like that the biblical examples are also easily applicable to today and our own lives. The unfortunate issue with this book is the extensive rational and lengthy and complicated explanation of numerous passages. Perhaps this is a given when we ourselves are so complicated, further so since the fall, as Smith points out.

A very deep book would be great for seminary students. Not for the simple-minded ( )
