J.P. Moreland does a great job covering "The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul."

He starts out discussing anti-intellectualism in today's American Christian culture (how we got there) and then lays out what one can personally do to reclaim the life of the mind.

I especially liked his brief lesson on logic (Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, and Disjunctive syllogisms), his examples of apologetic reasoning in action (responses to skepticism, scientism, and moral relativism), and the description of his own personal note-taking system to foster a greater intellectual experience when reading.

He devotes his final chapter to church business and ideas on how to combat the current climate within the church of hostility and/or indifference to the intellectual life - including changing up pastoring models, supporting proactive lending libraries, and hosting seminars, among others.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll buy a copy for my pastor...
