The Sanctified Mind

The Apostle Paul associated life in the Spirit with changes in the mind (Rom 8) and urged believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Rom 12:2) and to put on the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. (Eph 4:17-23). This book is a pastoral analysis of how that works. It seeks to look practically at the radical change envisaged in the New Testament. The word Paul uses repeatedly for mind is nous -the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling judging determining; the intellectual faculty. What is it to be renewed in the spirit of your minds? What does that new self look like when created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness? This book claims that the language of the New Testament is not aspiration but experience.
