Paul, Thomas Aquinas, and James K. A. Smith on the Role of Reason in Human Formation
Paul, Thomas Aquinas, and James K. A. Smith on the Role of Reason in Human Formation
Description
This book argues that Paul's seminal thesis on human moral formation in Romans 12:1–2 can be best understood when it is interpreted through the lens of a philosophical and theological anthropology that merges the views of Thomas Aquinas and James K. A. Smith.
This view claims that Paul's admonition to renew the mind in Romans 12:2 is best accomplished when human reason is understood to be the operation of the unified human soul that integrates the intellectual, sensitive, and appetitive powers within a specific socio-cultural context.
