Habits of the Mind: Intellectual Life As a Christian Calling

James Sire, with his inimitable wit and wisdom, puts his supple mind to these questions and offers an unusual insider's view of learning how to think well for the glory of God and for the sake of his kingdom. Sire challenges us not to separate being from knowing, and shows us how to develop intellectual virtues and disciplines—habits of the mind—that will strengthen us in the pursuit of our goal. Because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, he argues, we can and should accept the challenge to think as well as we can.
