{"product_id":"the-life-of-the-mind-clifford-williams-9780801023361","title":"The Life of the Mind: A Christian Perspective","description":"What purpose do purely intellectual pursuits have in the lives of Christians? Why should Christians study subjects that have little bearing on their future careers and ministry? In a style reminiscent of the work of Arthur Holmes and Harry Blamires, veteran professor of philosophy Clifford Williams addresses these issues and more in this succinct and accessible examination of the life of the mind.\u003cbr\u003e\tChristians cultivating the life of the mind actively pursue situations and discussions that require experimentation, reflection, and perseverance. They are interested in the acquisition of knowledge that is both unrelated and directly related to their faith. Williams answers common Christian objections to such activities, describes the virtues of the person who engages in the life of the mind, and asserts that the life of the mind is justifiably a Christian calling.\u003cbr\u003e\t\u003ci\u003eThe Life of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is directed toward college students contemplating the importance of college and intellectual activity in general, but it will be enjoyed by all committed to developing a Christian mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080102336X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801023361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.56w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1788","brand":"Clifford Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767118745855,"sku":"9780801023361","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fea6c689-4bd2-4a57-a2b3-d4b7815b61d2.jpg?v=1744168904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-the-mind-clifford-williams-9780801023361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
