Lecture Title - Transformed by the Renewing of the Mind: The Use of Scripture in "Spiritual Formation"
The Apostle Paul tells us to "not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom. 12:2). But how are we to go about renewing our mind? We will explain the role of scripture in the renewing of the mind, and the role of the pastor and the congregation in this process. We will also discuss the ways in which use of scripture fails to renew the mind-as often seems to be the case in our "Bible based" churches. What can be done about that? The larger picture of Christian "spiritual formation" will be discussed. How does it relate to "growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"? Does being saved have anything to do with transformation of character?
Dallas Willard (PhD University of Wisconsin) was Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Southern California. Within his interests were metaphysics, contemporary European philosophy, ethics and the history of ethics. An author of many books, his last one being Living in Christ's Presence: Final Words on Heaven and the Kingdom of God (InterVarsity Press, 2017).
The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
