How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! ...
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

(Psalm 36:7a, 9)

We live in a confusing and confused age. There are lies everywhere, and many people believe them. How do we cut through the confusion and gain a right understanding of true and false, right and wrong?

Here is the answer: we need the light of God’s truth shining upon us and providing us with the flashlight we need to see in a dark place. The prophetic Word, the Holy Scriptures, are that “light which shines in a dark place” (2 Pet. 1:19). The Lord is the God of knowledge. He determines what is true, not us.

The purpose of How to Think Biblically is to introduce the Christian student to a biblical view of the mind and the biblical foundation for logic, and to teach them how to evaluate logical fallacies.

Learn to think biblically and critically about the world around you. This book contains an abundance of examples from worldview and apologetic discussions, cultural debates, and political campaigns. It also demonstrates the importance of sound reasoning in personal relationships, as well as in family and church life.

The formation of a sound mind is never isolated from growth in spiritual maturity. How to Think Biblically encourages the cultivation of love for God, growth in humility and spiritual-mindedness, and seeking God in prayer. If these applications are missed, then a sharp mind and the ability to discern fallacies will do us no good.
