Book Review: A Mind for God
James Emery White’s A Mind for God (Intervarsity Press, 2006) is a short book emphasizing the need for Christians to cultivate their minds. Nothing that White says in this book is particularly new; Christian thinkers have been advocating immersion in the Christian worldview for decades now.
What makes White’s book stand out is its brevity. At just over 100 pages, this small book serves as a very concise declaration of Christianity’s need for biblical thinkers. It is not designed to provide Christians with a biblical worldview. Instead, it points us in the right direction. Especially helpful are the appendices in the back of the book which list important books from the past three thousand years.
White’s book is a clarion call to evangelical Christians to begin cultivating the life of the mind. His view of the future is hopeful, his advice practical, and his words should be heeded by our generation.
