Joshua Farris – Theological Anthropology

Why is the soul so important in the Christian tradition? Why is it important that we are embodied beings?

Brent talks with Joshua Farris about a recent article he’s published with the University of St. Andrews called ‘Substance Dualist Theological Anthropology’.

Joshua is an ordained priest with the Diocese of Kagera and ACMI and a Canon Theologian on Missio Mosaic.  He’s the director and founder of Soul Science Ministries and Spiritually Driven Leadership.
