Knowledge for the Love of God

In 'Knowledge for the Love of God: Why Your Heart Needs Your Mind', Timothy Pickavance argues that Christian faith requires both intellectual rigor and heartfelt devotion.

He traces historical and theological reasons for integrating reasoning with spiritual affection, challenging the false dichotomy between faith and intellect.

The book explores how the Bible conceives of the heart to include cognitive faculties and shows why thinking carefully about faith strengthens genuine trust in God. It offers practical and philosophical resources for believers who want to cultivate thoughtful, informed devotion.
