Do the Bible, the church, and philosophers agree on what the soul is? Far from it. This week, Onsi, Colin, and Rhys ask how (if at all) we can fit together the contributions of Scripture, Aristotle, and Descartes to work out what the soul is, how much reason can know about it, and if it's immortal (before descending into metaphysical bickering).
NOTE: below, for works and books discussed on the show, we link to the products on Amazon for ease. However, we would strongly encourage you to find an alternative bookseller from which to purchase any books if possible.
