Body, Soul, and Human Life The Nature of Humanity in the Bible by Joel B. Green

Description: Body, Soul, and Human Life The Nature of Humanity in the Bible by Joel B. Green, Craig Bartholomew, Christopher Seitz New Testament scholar and theologian Joel Green argues that a dualistic view of the human person is inconsistent with both science and Scripture. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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." Back Cover "Few biblical interpreters have delved as deeply into the science of the human brain as Joel Green. Here he draws upon that learning in conversation with Scripture to put forth a fresh picture of human existence, one that makes sense from both perspectives. He does not shy away from hard questions, especially those about life and death, body and soul."-- Patrick D. Miller , Princeton Theological Seminary"If you think nothing new ever happens in theology or biblical studies, you need to read this book, an essay in neuro-hermeneutics. Green shows not only that a physicalist (as opposed to a dualist) anthropology is consistent with biblical teaching but also that contemporary neuroscience sheds light on significant hermeneutical and theological questions."-- Nancey Murphy , Fuller Theological Seminary"Joel Green serves as the vanguard of interdisciplinary research on this topic. No one combines the requisite background in theology, biblical studies, and the natural sciences as adeptly as Green, and with the critical thinking needed to move along the interstices of these disciplines. Indeed, he succeeds at closing the gaps between these disciplines. This progress report is another timely and welcome contribution from Professor Green."-- Bill T. Arnold , Asbury Theological Seminary"In this outstanding work, the author provides a scholarly and thoroughly biblical analysis of human personhood in dialogue with the neurosciences. This book is likely to provide the definitive overview of this topic for many years to come."-- Denis R. Alexander , director, The Faraday Institute, St. Edmunds College"Some are students of the Bible. Others are students of neuroscience. Joel Green is both and more. In Body, Soul, and Human Life , he helps us listen more attentively both to the Bible and to the unfolding music of the neurosciences. What you hear may surprise you. Far from telling different and irreconcilable stories about human nature, Joel Green helps us to see that these two sources--the Bible and the neurosciences--actually tell mutually enriching and complementary stories about what it means to be fully human and fully alive. I heartily recommend it!"-- Kevin Corcoran , Calvin College Author Biography Joel B.

Prior to moving to Fuller, he taught at Asbury Theological Seminary for ten years, serving as vice president of academic affairs and provost in recent years.

He does not shy away from hard questions, especially those about life and death, body and soul."--Patrick D. Miller, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary"Joel Green serves as the vanguard of interdisciplinary research on this topic. No one combines the requisite background in theology, biblical studies, and the natural sciences as adeptly as Green, and with the critical thinking needed to move along the interstices of these disciplines. Indeed, he succeeds at closing the gaps between these disciplines. In this volume, we see him examining the biblical data afresh from his monist perspective, surveying the convergence of biblical studies and the neurosciences on a number of conclusions, and exploring the implications of monism for the church and for our understanding of salvation, mission, and life after death. This progress report is another timely and welcome contribution from Professor Green."--Bill T. Arnold, Paul S. Amos Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Asbury Theological Seminary"Some are students of the Bible. Others are students of neuroscience. Joel Green is both and more. Hes also a student of the human condition. Oftentimes students of the Bible and students of the neurosciences tell radically different and ultimately irreconcilable stories about human nature--what we are, who we are, and what were made for. In Body, Soul, and Human Life, Joel Green helps us listen more attentively both to the Bible and to the unfolding music of the neurosciences. What you hear may surprise you. Far from telling different and irreconcilable stories about human nature, Joel Green helps us to see that these two sources--the Bible and the neurosciences--actually tell mutually enriching and complementary stories about what it means to be fully human and fully alive.
