In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapter 6 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 differences between the various kinds of dualism?
- What is traducianism, and how is it different from creationism?
- What are some of the implications of holistic dualism in how we understand health?
- How should we understand the context of the conversations about the relationship of the body and the soul?
- What can Christian thinkers do to engage this topic well?
