Think is a good book to read in order to gain a biblical perspective on thinking. Piper does a good job of explaining how thinking and feeling are not mutually exclusive but work together to fuel one another. The point of thinking is to cause us to love God and our neighbor not to build up ourselves.

I find his arguments against anti-intellectualism helpful. God wants us to be humble in our understanding not to avoid intellectual development altogether. The verse "think over these things and God will give you understanding" shows our responsibility in seeking to understand but in the end it is God by His grace who gives the understanding.

Piper explains his arguments thoroughly and winsomely. I am far from an intellectual yet this book helped me to grow in my desire understanding of thinking biblically.
