Webb about intellectual virtues and critical thinking skills. What does it mean to be a critical thinker and why is it important for students of Scripture? One example from Scripture is the Bereans of Acts 17:11, “Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.”<br> <br> <br> <br> Wes and Clifton discuss this list of intellectual virtues found in The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools by Richard Paul and Linda Elder:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Intellectual Humility vs Intellectual Arrogance* Intellectual Courage vs Intellectual Cowardice* Intellectual Empathy vs Intellectual Narrow-mindedness* Intellectual Autonomy vs Intellectual Conformity* Intellectual Integrity vs Intellectual Hypocrisy* Intellectual Perseverance vs Intellectual Laziness* Confidence in Reason vs Distrust of Reason and Evidence* Fairmindedness vs Intellectual Unfairness<br> <br> <br> <br> Clifton F.
