What’s the correlation between the soul, the brain, and the mind? Many Christians today struggle to grasp the concept of an immaterial soul and how it impacts us physically and mentally.
For this midweek podcast, Frank sits down with Dr. Stan Wallace to discuss his book, ‘Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing‘, which exposes the errors that even some Christians are making in their denial of the soul and challenges Christians to come to a sound understanding of how the soul functions in relation to the body. As the president and CEO of Global Scholars, Stan has made it his mission to equip Christian professors around the world to have a redemptive influence among their students and colleagues. Frank and Stan will answer questions like:
Is there really an attack on the soul and has neuroscience disproven its existence?
What is (Cartesian) dualism?
Why is it important to know the different characteristics of the soul?
Why are some Christians denying the existence of the soul and what does the Bible say about the soul?
Who are today’s leading neurotheologians and what’s causing them to form false conclusions about the reality of the soul?
How are beliefs surrounding the immaterial world impacting the rise of transgenderism?
How should near death experiences be factored into discussions on the soul and the mind?
Later in the episode, Stan will also uncover the six capacities of the human soul as well as explore three ways that we can approach the make-up of the human body. As you’ll hear during their talk, being aware of how mind, body, and soul work together is an important aspect of understanding the biblical worldview. So put on your thinking cap and get ready for an enlightening discussion on some of the ins and outs of soul-body theology!
