Smiths book is a much-needed biblically and philosophically attuned exploration of the role of reason in human formation. It is a bold and constructive call to reenchant reason that draws upon a wide array of historical and contemporary sources, all for the sake of greater biblical understanding of the Pauline theme of human transformation by way of the minds renewal. * Ross D. Inman, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary * This book is a serious, careful, and creative exploration of the dynamics of moral and spiritual formation. Exhaustively researched, charitable but not uncritical, K. Lauriston Smith tackles some of the thorniest issues for a contemporary, holistic account of formation. This book represents an advance in the conversation. * James K.A. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Calvin University * A powerful and highly stimulating account of Pauline anthropology and intellectual virtue! Smith accomplishes the difficult task of drawing upon diverse fields of study in order to make a strong argument for the role of rationality and reasoning in Paul's moral discourse. * Joshua Jipp, Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School *
