''Phronema'' is a transliteration of the Greek word φρόνημα, which has the meanings of "mind", "spirit", "thought", "purpose", "will", and can have either a positive meaning ("high spirit", "resolution", "pride") or a bad sense ("presumption", "arrogance").〔(Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'': φρόνημα )〕 In the New Testament, the word is used four times in the Saint Paul's Letter to the Romans: twice with "τῆς σαρκός" (of the flesh) and twice with "τοῦ πνεύματος" (of the spirit): "for the ''mind'' of the flesh () death, and the ''mind'' of the Spirit – life and peace; because the ''mind'' of the flesh () enmity to God ...and He who is searching the hearts hath known what () the ''mind'' of the Spirit" (Romans 8:6-7,27). == Eastern Orthodox theology == The term ''phronema'' is used in Eastern Orthodox theology to one particular ''mindset'' or ''outlook' – the ''Orthodox mind''.〔The appeal to Tradition was actually an appeal to the mind of the Church, her phronema. It was a method to discover and ascertain the faith as it had been always held, from the very beginning: semper creditum. The permanence of Christian belief was the most conspicuous sign and token of its truth: no innovations (further discussion of this topic see my articles: "The Function of Tradition in the Ancient Church," The Greek Orthodox Theological Review, IX (No. 2, 1964), 181-200, and "Scripture and Tradition: An Orthodox point of view," Dialog, II (No. 4, 1963), 288-293. Cf. also "Revelation and Interpretation," in: Biblical Authority for Today, edited by Alan Richardson and W. Schweitzer (London and Philadelphia, 1951), pp. 163-180 ). On Church and Tradition. An Eastern Orthodox View by Archpriest George Florovsky (1893-1979) ()〕 The attaining of ''phronema'' in this sense is a matter of practicing the correct faith (''orthodoxia'') in the correct manner (''orthopraxis''). Attaining ''phronema'' is regarded as the first step toward ''theosis'', the state of ''glorification''. () ''Phronema'' is also the name of the official annual review of St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College, Sydney, Australia. It presents articles and book reviews from Orthodox and non-Orthodox on topics with central reference to theology, Church history and Orthodoxy.〔 (Phronema, volume 23, 2008 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phronema」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
