#35 – “The Bible and the Soul”: Chapter 2 of Have We Lost Our Minds?

In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapter 2 of Stan’s new book, Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What are the key passages related to the topic of Biblical anthropology?
• What is the difference between an ontological unity and a functional unity of body and soul?
• What witness does church history give to this topic?
• Where did “neurotheology” go wrong in explaining the nature of the human person?
• What is our soul doing when it is no longer united with the body?
