Description
By the Renewing of Your Minds: The Pastoral Function of Christian Doctrine This book explores the idea that classical Christian theology aims to help believers flourish by knowing and loving God. Ellen Charry examines the teachings of influential theologians, from the New Testament era to the Reformation, to reveal the pastoral and moral aims behind their writings. Charry shows how the logic of their arguments is shaped by a concern for the goodness and happiness that should result from living into the doctrines. She argues that, despite the complexity of their spiritual and pastoral purposes, these writings are ultimately concerned with fostering human dignity - or "excellence" - in action, affection, and self-appraisal.
