#40 – “The Unity of the Soul and Body”: Chapter 6 of Have We Lost Our Minds?

Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapter 6 of Stan’s new book, Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is the nature of the relationship between the body and soul?
  • Do ears hear? How can we understand the way souls and bodies interact?
  • What are the key differences between the various kinds of dualism?
  • What is traducianism, and how is it different from creationism?
  • What are some of the implications of holistic dualism in how we understand health?
  • How should we understand the context of the conversations about the relationship of the body and the soul?
  • What can Christian thinkers do to engage this topic well?
  • Why do theologically trained scholars tend to have a difficult time with substance dualism?
