This book surveys the Old Testament’s teaching about the mind and thinking. Exegesis of important passages and explanations of critical concepts are provided. Vital assumptions underlying Old Testament epistemology are explained. It provides primary data about knowing within its conceptual framework: creation and covenant, sin and repentance, revelation and redemption. It shows that human beings are designed for thinking and learning, as well as for curiosity and creativity as God’s vice-regents. This book describes mental piety with positive examples and practices. It shows that our world is indeed a labyrinth, but that God’s revelation is our reliable guide. The book will motivate readers to strive for integrity, wisdom, and intellectual development for the glory of God and the fulfilment of our mandate on earth. Readers will learn from their ancient brethren how, what, and why we should think—and how to pray about it.
