Nurturing the Mind of the Christian Professional

Authors

  • Humberto M. Rasi

Abstract

The Christian professional must be a thinking being, whose thoughts are grounded in the conception of eternity and an understanding of God. Some secular authors suggest that Christians aren’t good at thinking. This paper argues that Christians need to think more clearly than ever, with their thoughts based on biblical principles, and to act as leaders in their community, promoting such things as faith, creativity, life, service and generosity, and avoiding pitfalls such as mental dualism and over-analysis. The agenda for Christian professionals in the new millennium should include fostering human hope, promoting life, and engaging in scholarship based on biblical values.
