Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The intellectualist model of the human person assumes that learning and discipleship are primarily a matter of depositing ideas and beliefs into mind-containers. But this model ignores the power of habit.

#2 That is, even versions of Christian faith that are hostile to intellectualism are still intellectualist in how they approach discipleship and Christian formation, focusing on the acquisition of biblical knowledge.

#3 We need to recognize the limits of knowledge, and understand that we are not just thinking things. We are also feeling things, and we need to embrace those aspects of our person.

#4 Instead of starting from the assumption that humans are intellectual beings, we could start from the assumption that humans are first and foremost lovers. The center and seat of the human person is not in the heady regions of the intellect but in the gut-level regions of the heart.
