From chapter 12 through the first part of chapter 15, Paul outlines how the gospel transforms believers and the behaviour that results from such a transformation. This transformation is described as a "renewing of your mind" (12:2), a transformation that Douglas J. Moo characterizes as "the heart of the matter."Douglas J. Moo, The Epistle to the Romans (Eerdmans, 1996), 748. It is a transformation so radical that it amounts to "a transfiguration of your brain," a "metanoia", a "mental revolution."Edward J Anton, Repentance: A Cosmic Shift of Mind and Heart (Discipleship Publications, 2005) 30.
