Just how Christian is modern Christianity?Christianity is defined by the person and work of Jesus Christ, and by him alone.
In 1994, Mark Noll offered a bleak, even scathing, assessment of the state of evangelical thinking and scholarship with his book The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. Now, nearly twenty years later, in a sequel that is more hopeful than despairing -- more attuned to possibilities than to problems -- Noll updates his assessment and charts a positive way forward for evangelical scholarship.
In Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind, Noll shows how the orthodox Christology confessed in the classic Christian creeds provides an ideal vantage point for viewing the vast domains of human learning and can enhance intellectual engagement in a variety of specific disciplines. In a substantial postscript he candidly addresses the question How fares the “evangelical mind” today?
"One of America's finest historians, Mark Noll takes us inside his mind to see the set of Christian convictions that have shaped his work. The clarity, forcefulness, and insistence with which he writes will certainly provoke questions that others have not asked or have asked but have not answered well. We are in his debt for this considerable service." --David F. Wells (Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary)
"It is odd that so much modern theology has treated Christology as just another doctrinal topic. Mark Noll shows us Jesus right where St. Paul left him — in Colossians — as the one 'in whom all things hold together.' Now that we have a christological clarion call for scholarship of all kinds, it's hard to believe we had none before. This is the ideal bookend for Noll's Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, sketching out a way for intellectual pilgrims to follow Jesus into academic fields of all kinds. May many take up that way." --Jason Byassee (Duke Divinity School)
