4: Books & the Discipleship of the Mind
Francis Bacon: “old authors to read”; Lewis … was able to transcend his limits; “capacity of books to break spells & open up new ways of visualizing & inhabiting our world”; classic writers help us to break free from our assumption that the most recent is the best; we read books to put us in touch with a wider world & new ways of thinking: grasping the big picture

3: Habits of the Christian Mind
the church = the community of faith and personal growth; the Christian vision: on seeing things as they really are; Rom 12:2 transformed by renewing of your mind; transformation of reality which allows us to “construct meaning & value”; 3 elements of the discipling of the mind; the church & the world: distinct but not disconnected; the place of worship in discipleship; conclusion
