"A Compelling Reason for Rigorous Training of the Mind"

Good morning,

I had this article from John Piper in my inbox this morning and thought as I was reading it that you guys would probably appreciate the thoughts on reading and education here. Here’s one quote:

“Education of the mind in the rigorous discipline of thoughtful reading is a primary goal of school. The church of Jesus is debilitated when his people are lulled into thinking that it is humble or democratic or relevant to give a merely practical education that does not involve the rigorous training of the mind to think hard and to construe meaning from difficult texts.”

Here’s the link for the entire article:

Happy Monday. 🙂
