Full Gospel, Fractured Minds?: A Call to Use God's Gift of the IntellectDo you sometimes feel you have to check your intellect at the church door, leaving reason behind to embrace the Christian faith? Do you hunger for a "full gospel" that includes the mind as well as heart and Spirit? Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? challenges charismatic and Pentecostal believers to discover the power of a well-maintained mind--a mind on fire--to match a heart on fire and to create a life that operates within the full counsel of God .Naņez shows how human reason helps us understand and interpret God's Word as well as defend the gospel. He shows what the Bible teaches about the mind, and explores the backgrounds of nineteenth-century and modern culture, anti-intellectualism, Pentecostal history and beliefs, and popular misconceptions about human intellect in relation to the Christian faith. Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? helps men and women practice a Christian faith that reflects the whole person and the full gospel. "Rick Naņez calls Pentecostals and charismatics to seek a balance between mind and Spirit. This book will stir you to seek all that God has for you."--From the Foreword by Stanley M. Horton, PhD |
