 The Theologian in Modern Society (Phronema and Behaviour)
Firstly, we must clarify what 'phronema' is, being of course the most central presupposition which defines the position and behaviour of the theologian in his particular time.
This super-subjective origin of phronema is expressed in the New Testament with the well-known term 'mind of Christ', which is almost synonymous with phronema.
Therefore, faith and phronema are the charismatic power of the inner person which steadily and selflessly connect him or her with God, as well as with fellow human beings (as images or icons of God) and the whole creation (as the work of God).

 THE NEW TESTAMENT CONCEPTION OF FLESH
The Greek is phronema sarkos, which indicates a "mindedness" or "attitude" toward the flesh an orientation away from "spirit" and God, and a dedication to flesh.
Paul's analysis moves to a third point in Romans 8 :4-9 This evil force attributed to flesh is not at all a substance inherent in the human body as material.
Now, quite regardless of any inherent good or evil in a body or a thing, it is manifestly evil to choose a lower value in preference to a higher, especially if that lower value can become so absorbing as to defeat or destroy the very meaning of life.

 phronema   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Kingdom Interlinear Translation the Greek Scriptures shows that phro'nema occurs four times at Romans 8:6, 7, 27 and that its literal meaning is consistently "minding." Greek scholars Bauer, Arndt, and Gingrich explain phro'nema as: " way of thinking, mind(-set), aim, aspiration, striving.-A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature.
In Romans chapter 8, the apostle Paul counseled Christians not to walk according to the imperfect human flesh.
The word phro'nema could have been rendered in Ro 8 verse 27 as "minding." But holy spirit is not a person that actually thinks or has its own thinking.

 ORLAPUBS R183:  AQUIRING AN ORTHODOX PHRONEMA
That terminology is at war with the aim of acquiring the flavor and phronema of holy Orthodoxy; and such topics treated are quite peripheral to that aim.
This is because without that phronema, what is read will not come through the way it should and mean what it should.
The phronema greatly depends on meditating on Christ and the prayers of the Church's services as well as striving to lead a holy life.

The purpose of the analysis is to reveal the situation and the causes for which the Orthodox Christians are increasingly oblivious of the Tradition of the Church, as preserved and transmitted from the time of the Fathers throughout the generations in her teaching and praxis.
In the first article of the series, His Eminence has shown that phronema is the totality of opinions or views one holds about existence in general, or in other words the mind-set one has especially regarding spiritual issues.
This is one of the reasons we have begun to lose the Orthodox phronema.

 Advantages of the New World Translation: Why is the Greek word translated differently?

The old translators rendered the passage thus; "The mind of the flesh is enmity against God"-that is to say, the natural mind, that soul which we inherit from our fathers, that which was born within us when our bodies were fashioned by God.
The fleshly mind, the phronema sarkos, the lusts, the passions of the soul; it is this which has gone astray from God, and become enmity against him.
And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized, yet the apostle doth confess, that concupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin." I want nothing more.

The word for "mind" in these verses is not nous, as in the previous chapter, but phronema, perhaps better translated as "mind set." Paul is contrasting two kinds of consciousness and intentionality (verses 6-7,27).
