"How is is possible for a person to be an active member of an evangelical church for twenty or thirty years and still know next to nothing about the history and theology of the Christian religion, the methods and tools required for serious Bible study, and the skills and information necessary to preach and defend Christianity in a post-Christian, neopagan culture?"
This question captures the essense of this readable and profound book. In it J. P. Moreland explores the intellectual life of the Church; the history of intellectualism (or lack thereof) in the Church; and the scriptural basis for why it's important for Christians to develop healthy, active, critical-thinking minds. And he offers some challenging and intriguing ideas for renewing the intellectual life of the Church (No senior pastors!!??).
As an active member of an evangelical church for close to twenty years who has much to learn about the history and theology of the Christian religion, J. P. Moreland's book has challenged me to spend more time studying God's Word and mastering the evidences for my faith so that I can be a more effective witness for Jesus Christ. This book has encouraged me to love God with all my mind (Mark 12:30).
This is an important, convicting, and helpful book for any Christian who sincerely desires to grow in their relationship with our Lord and Savior.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It draws attention to the need for intellectual development as an aspect of spiritual formation. It does not ignore the heart, but Moreland reminds readers that the Biblical conception of the heart (as the core of a person) includes the mind. This is valuable reading for anyone, but it is particularly useful for college students. The reading list of "Sources for Integration" alone is well worth the price of the book. J.P. Moreland is an important figure in the growing movement of Christian leaders who are both intellectual and firmly orthodox. This book was edited by Dallas Willard (former head of the philosophy department at USC) and is highly recommended by Phillip Johnson (Darwin on Trial) and Josh McDowell.

While I applaud Moreland's attempt to address the dearth of intellectualism in the evangelical movement, the book's rather decided right wing political bias largely discredits the attempt to promote true Christian intellectualism. By addressing the issue of intellectualism Moreland takes a courageous single step in the right direction but by burdening the work with shallow secular politics the overall effect is to push evangelical Christianity two steps back. If you are looking for a more insightful approach to this issue you might try Noll's "Scandal of the Evangelical Mind" or any of the works by Richard Foster.

A must-read!
Very thought-provoking and challenging. Compelling arguments why Christians ought to know more about their faith and learn to defend it better than they currently do.
