S2E5: Body, Soul & Spirit (feat. Calvin, Barth & Nee)

What does it actually mean to be human?In this episode of the Dead Theologians Podcast, we explore one of the oldest and most important questions in theology, philosophy, and human existence itself. Are humans made of body and soul? Body, soul, and spirit? Or are we better understood as an inseparable unity?Featuring quotes and ideas from John Calvin, Karl Barth, and Watchman Nee, we discuss dualism, trichotomy, psychosomatic unity, sanctification, the intermediate state, resurrection, and the biblical language surrounding body, soul, and spirit.Along the way, we also begin exploring modern questions that emerge from Christian anthropology:What separates humans from animals? Could artificial intelligence ever possess personhood? And what does the image of God truly mean?This conversation serves as the foundation for our upcoming discussion on AI, consciousness, and where humanity is heading.If you have questions, thoughts, or want to continue the conversation, we’d love to hear from you:📩 ⁠[email protected]⁠We've got a lot to learn, if we're willing to listen.
