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

چکیده
Firing another salvo in the on-going monism-dualism debate, Joel B. Green in his new book Body, Soul, and Human Life, presents his ontological monism, a rebuttal against anthropological dualism in general and against the holistic dualism in Body, Soul, and Everlasting Life by John W. Cooper in particular. Green’s anthropological monism, which “coheres well with Nancey Murphy’s argument . . . and with Charles Gutenson’s perspective” (179), merges biblical evidence with advances in neuroscience and views personhood in terms of biography rather than substance.
