Most people think that everyone has a soul that is resident in the body. The vast majority of Christians believe the soul lives on after the body dies. But ironically the vast majority of people -- even devoted readers of the Bible -- have never noticed what the biblical writers actually say about it. In this episode we look at views of the soul found in the Hebrew Bible, the teachings of Jesus, and the rest of the New Testament. Is it the standard Christian view? Do the biblical writers think the soul can live on without the body? If not, what would salvation and eternal life be? Tune in to find out!
Megan asks about:
Getting AC fixed today, what’s your ideal climate?
When you were a Christian, what were your beliefs about a person’s soul?
What passages from the bible did you use to support your beliefs?
As an agnostic biblical scholar, how do you understand these passages now?
How do modern Christian beliefs compare to those of Jesus and early Christians?
How did the differentiation between the soul and body come into play?
How about the wider Greco-Roman world? Did they have similar beliefs on souls to ancient Israelites, or were they more in line with Plato’s thinking?
When do we start to see early Christians buying into this idea of an eternal soul, and the fate of that soul depending on your activities during life?
Do we see any variety in beliefs about souls among different early Christian sects?
If that’s Paul’s view, what do the Gospels say about this kind of thing, if they say anything?
We’ve talked about resurrection before, but how about souls before they get born into bodies? Does the bible speak to that at all?
So, how far does the bible actually support modern Christian views about the soul, its immortality, and its fate after death?
When do you think this modern Christian view became mainstream in Christian history?
Do we see any kind of attempted resolution in early Christian writings, or do they just leave it alone?
