Christianity Invented ‘Person’—Here’s Why You’re More Than Biology
A “person” wasn’t always what you think it is. In ancient Greek drama "prosopon" meant a stage mask—but early Christians hijacked the word to solve the biggest question of their age: Who exactly is Jesus? That theological breakthrough still shapes every debate about human dignity, soul vs. body, AI consciousness, and why you’re infinitely more than a bundle of atoms.
Abbot Ankido (Chaldean Catholic priest & monk) sits down with Fr. Daniel (Chaldean Catholic priest & Canonist) to trace the idea of personhood from Aristotle to Genesis to modern Canon Law—then asks what it means for your daily fight with pleasure, perfectionism, and self-worth.
