The Mind of Christ: Humility and the Intellect in Early Christian Theology: T&T Clark Studies in Systematic Theology

Autor Stephen T. Pardue
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2015
This book brings a variety of theological resources to bear on the now widespread effort to put humility in its proper place. In recent years, an assortment of thinkers have offered competing evaluations of humility, so that its moral status is now more contentious than ever. Like all accounts of humility, the one advanced in this study has to do with the proper handling of human limits.What early Christian resources offer, and what discussions of the issue since the eighteenth century have often overlooked, is an account of the ways in which human limits are permeable, superable and open to modification because of the working of divine grace. This notion is especially relevant for a renewed vision of intellectual humility-the primary aim of the project-but the study will also suggest the significance of the argument for ameliorating contemporary concerns about humility's generally adverse effects.

Recenzii

Stephen Pardue's treatment of humility is scripturally faithful, theologically profound, and spiritually nourishing. He treats this virtue in ways that honor both intellectual and ethical concerns. The book is clearly and beautifully written. Above all, it directs our focus consistently toward God's self-giving in Jesus Christ - toward that which ultimately defines our human dignity.
Theology is a practice of both mind and heart; this is a theme that echoes through the Christian tradition. It is also, of course, a theme that we all too easily forget. In this fascinating and acute study Stephen Pardue shows how deeply the practice - and indeed life - of humility governed two of the most intellectually stimulating of our early Christian forebears, and he shows us this vision as a powerful evangelical call to our own practice today.
Pardue has an excellent sense of balance, interspersing obligatory surveys of the various fields addressed with sustained examinations of key figures and arguments.
