#42 – Defenses of Neurotheology and Objections to Holistic Dualism

Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapters 7 and 8 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 difference between valuing science and scientism?
  • Was Dallas Willard a neurotheologian?
  • Does neurotheology help people grow in Christlikeness?
  • For the sake of simplicity, why not just understand persons as material beings?
  • How can the body and soul interact if they are such different types of things?
  • Wait, does this mean animals also have souls? Is that Biblical?
