Joshua Farris – The Banquet of Souls

What do we make of the idea of the soul?

Brent talks with Joshua Farris about his new Soul Science publication called ‘The Banquet of Souls: A Mirror to the Universe’.

‘The Banquet of Souls’ is an accessible exploration of the soul in relation to the universe.  It’s written in a fun way that centers around the dinner table.

Joshua is a philosopher and theologian. He’s Vice President of Ethical Engagement at Density6 and Visiting Research Professor at the Ruhr University Bochum.  He’s also the director of Soul Science Ministries and the founder of Spiritually Driven Leadership which provides education and consulting at the intersection of business and faith.
