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.
