Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith & Culture

What is a Person? And Why It Matters (with JP Moreland)


Listen Later

Who counts as a person?  The severely mentally challenged?  The elderly person at the end of Alzheimer’s?  The unborn?  On what basis do we decide this critical question?  How do we know that we have a soul?  Hasn’t science decided that all of what the soul does actually occurs in the brain?  Join Scott as he tackles these questions and more with our colleague and guest, JP Moreland, and co-author of a new book, The Substance of Consciousness.

P Moreland is Distinguished Professor Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.  He author, edited or contributed papers to 95 books and authored dozens of articles defending orthodox Christianity, and he is a widely sought after speaker both in the US and around the world. In 2015 he was named one of the 50 greatest living philosophers in the world.
