This is a book about reading the Greco-Roman classics as Christians—the why, the how, and to a lesser extent, the when. This exercise, equal parts intellectual and spiritual, is timely. Just as our bodies are what we eat, so are our minds what we consume. The past few years have seen the appearance of books on the value of literature in nourishing our minds and souls—developing the practice of reading not just the Bible but all that we read for spiritual formation. Most such books have focused largely on medieval and modern literature, involving antiquity only occasionally.

Prominent recent studies elevate the themes of "Christoformity" and "Cruciformity" in Paul, but few sufficiently account for how a believer is actually transformed into the image of Christ. Pneumaformity fills the gap in Pauline studies by surveying Paul's letters for teachings on the Spirit's agency in the life of God' people. This study aptly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is the instrument through whom such radical living is possible.

En el siglo veinte, el evangelio de Jesucristo y los ideales utópicos marxistas se enfrentaron. Hoy, estas ideas se funden en un nuevo y confuso sistema de creencias. Esa mezcla orienta a la sociedad hacia una mentalidad mafiosa y deconstruye a la iglesia. Debemos oponernos a este falso evangelio y proteger las verdaderas enseñanzas de Jesucristo.
