I think my brain hurts. If you didn't catch it, the first lines of this review are a hat tip to the first lines of Peter Leithart's book Against Christianity, which in turn plays off the first lines of Fyodor ...

Learning to Think Things Through: A Guide to Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum
Although the topics discussed in this book initially seemed a bit convoluted or wordy to me, upon second review it was a worthwhile read. I have found that appreciating the labor and reflection involved in critical thinking is much like acquiring a taste for some strange food or drink you didn't like as a child, but then as one matures so do their tastebuds and expectations. "Learning to Think ...

In part, this book is an exposition of Roman 12:1-2 in which the Apostle Paul commands Christians to no longer conform to the pattern of the world ...
