Description

Theology of the Soul engages with a thoroughly theological and philosophical subject in fresh and profound ways: the soul.

The author examines the possibility of a concept of the soul in modern, Western theology.

In the second part of the 20th century speaking about the soul was strongly criticized in Theology and Philosophy.

Consequently, many academic theologians consider the word “soul” problematic.

Remarkably, the word “soul” is very much present in contemporary culture.

This book takes cultural notions of the soul as employed by, for example, Marilynne Robinson and Oprah Winfrey, as a point of departure.

The author then investigates the functions of the soul in classical theologies and provides elucidating overviews of the ways in which the soul is discussed and problematized in contemporary Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

After introducing the apostle Paul as conversation partner, she reconsiders various contemporary concepts from a Pauline perspective, and offers a constructive systematic theological proposal to speak of the soul in today’s modern theological and cultural contexts.

This interdisciplinary study integrates continental and analytic methods and discussions on the soul in Philosophy and Theology, providing a very comprehensive study of the soul.
