October 10, 2014 by Dan Jesse Leave a Comment

The sixth and concluding post in a series  drawing from and interacting with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011).

Noll not only sees the life of the mind encouraged through our union with Christ, which unites all things … [Read more...] about Book Review: Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind (2)
