For most of history, nearly everybody has agreed that human beings survive the deaths of our bodies. But somewhere along the way, materialism rose to dominance, and we became nothing but bodies. What's the truth? Shane welcomes Dr. Joshua Farris, author of The Creation of Self, to make a robust case for the soul.

Show Notes:

The critical theories that dominate our cultural vocabulary aren't "just" theories. They form an entire worldview that fundamentally contradicts the good, true, and beautiful worldview of Christianity. Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer's latest book, Critical Dilemma, can help you understand and respond to the bad ideas of Critical Theory with discernment and truth.
