Body, Soul, and Human Life (Studies in Theological Interpretation): The Nature of Humanity in the Bible

by Joel B. Green, Craig Bartholomew (Editor), Joel Green (Editor), Christopher Seitz (Editor)

Overview

Are humans composed of a material body and an immaterial soul? This view is commonly held by Christians, yet it has been undermined by recent developments in neuroscience. Exploring what Scripture and theology teach about issues such as being in the divine image, the importance of community, sin, free will, salvation, and the afterlife, Joel Green argues that a dualistic view of the human person is inconsistent with both science and Scripture. This wide-ranging discussion is sure to provoke much thought and debate.

Bestselling books have explored the relationship between body, mind, and soul. Now Joel Green provides us with a biblical perspective on these issues.
