The way we think—our patterns of reasoning—can fail to show love for God just as readily as the way we live outwardly. This series explains how we can better keep the first and great commandment with our minds. Dr. Bahnsen shows how to detect and refute the underlying worldviews in terms of which unbelievers think, so that Christians can be more alert and effective in defending the faith.
