Description
Summary:In a post-Christian context it is important to nourish the Christian mind. Oliver O’Donovan’s work is an important contribution to understand how we receive the mind of Christ: by participation in Christ, our knowledge is renewed and our understanding of the scriptures is given. O’Donovan develops a coherent conceptual framework closely connected to the narrative of scripture. This framework is like a backbone that gives strength to a perspective. However, reflection on practices of formation is missing in O’Donovan’s work: i.e. practices that invite to share this perspective in Christ, in order that the mind of Christ can be formed in us.
