Thinking Christianly

#3: What Does “Thinking Christianly” Mean?

Listen Later

In this episode, we’re defining what we mean when we say “thinking Christianly.” We discuss:

  • What does the faculty of “thinking” entail?
  • The difference between the mind and the brain and how they both relate to the soul
  • How to integrate faith and learning
  • Different kinds of knowledge and how to seek wisdom beyond the Christian worldview
  • Making right distinctions and how to make sense of false dichotomies
  • The state of Christian higher education and a word of hope

    • Resources mentioned during our conversation:

    • Dallas Willard in “The Allure of Gentleness”: “…reality can be described as what we humans run into when we are wrong…”
    • You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit by James K.A. Smith
    • A response to Smith’s You Are What You Love
    • Alvin Plantinga’s critique of methodological naturalism
    • Stan’s articles on the nature of the soul, mind, brain, and body:  What are We? and Succumbing to a Very Unchristian Idea (how Christians commonly reduce the mind to the brain).
