Love Your God with All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul

by J.P. Moreland

Overview

What does logic have to do with Christianity?

We know that faith means “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1, NIV). So what part does reason play when we share our beliefs with others? And how can using our God-given intellect help in our own spiritual development?

Love Your God with All Your Mind explains the importance of using your mind not only to win others to Christ but also to experience personal spiritual growth. Author J. P. Moreland, a professor of philosophy at Biola University, challenges you to use logic and reason to further God’s kingdom through evangelism, apologetics, worship, and vocation.

Blending theology, history, and practical wisdom, Moreland explores:

• The major worldviews at war in modern culture
• An introduction to the common logical fallacies people stumble into when arguing for or against Christianity
• How the church can combat anti-intellectualism and return to deep, rational thinking

This revised edition includes expanded appendixes with resources for additional study and three new chapters that outline how to reason for the reality of God and the historicity of Jesus’ life teachings, death, and resurrection.
