Barcus, Nancy B.  Developing a Christian Mind.  Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1977.

                    Barcus writes from a fundamentalist\evangelical Christian right bias.  The book offers

          perspectives on science, naturalism, and humanism.  This material parallels Holmes and Sire,

          Discipleship.  
     
     Holmes, Arthur, ed.  The Making of A Christian Mind: A Christian World View & the Academic Enterprise.

          Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1985.

                    Holmes writes from a conservative evangelical bias.  The book examines perspectives on

          Christianity and history, science, psychology, and the arts.  This book reviews similar issues to

          Barcus and Sire, Discipleship.

     Lewis, David and James Greene.  Thinking Better.  New York: Rawson, Wade Publishers, Inc., 1982.

                    Lewis and Greene deal with thinking, learning, problem solving, and decision-making skills,

          particularly as seen in IQ tests although the material has applications in a variety of settings. 

          The book is very practical and has a number of good pointers.

     Schaeffer, Francis.  The God Who is There.  Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1968

                    Schaeffer, a Reformed Presbyterian, writes from a conservative evangelical tradition.  For those

          with an intellectual bent and an interest in history, philosophy, art, science, and psychology,

          Schaeffer tries to trace the development of thinking in the opening years of the second half of the

          twentieth century and makes value judgements on modern society and modern theology from a

          conservative evangelical perspective.

     Sire, James.  Discipleship of the Mind. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1990.

                    Sire, who is the editor of InterVarsity Press, writes from a fundamentalist/evangelical Christian

          perspective.  This book is a followup to Sire's earlier book, The Universe Next Door. Sire

          discusses perspectives of value for a college student audience presumed to be primarily

          fundamentalist/evangelical Christian.  In a way, it is a College Life text for the Christian right.

_____.  How to Read Slowly.  Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1979.

                    Although a book about how to read, Sire's fundamentalist/evangelical Christian beliefs are

          interwoven throughout the text.  Sire argues that different kinds of reading materials (genres)

          should be read in different ways, and illustrates his ideas with a variety of works.  

_____.  The Universe Next Door.  2nd ed.  Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1988.

                    A useful look at various world views, again from the fundamentalist\evangelical Christian right. 

          This book offers a useful overview of some of the dominant belief systems of our time. Sire's

          perception is that all modern theories are attempts to find answers after the loss of theism.  This

          is a popular view in conservative Christian circles that first gained popularity through the

          writings of Francis Schaeffer.
