Here’s a one-minute explanation from Piper about what he is trying to accomplish in the book:
And here are a couple of the blurbs:
“Piper has done it again. His outstanding book Think promises to shepherd a generation about the Christian commitment to the life of the mind. Deeply biblical and uniquely balanced, Think practices what it preaches: It is an accessible, intellectually rich study that calls the reader to renewed love for God and others.”
—J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology
“John Piper has written a wise and passionate book about the importance of loving God with our minds. After all, we are commanded to do so! But as Piper explains, Christians have not always been very attentive to that commandment. With clarity and directness, he reveals the obstacles that prevent us from using our minds as God intended—but also shows the delights and benefits of doing so. Especially for those who fear intellectualism, this book will be a bracing tonic, and an encouragement besides.”
—Alan Jacobs, Clyde S. Kilby Chair Professor of English, Wheaton College
