About the Author: J.
P.
Moreland shows that neuroscience and the soul are not competing explanations of human activity, but that both coexist and influence one another.
He also describes the various components of the soul and how Christians can nurture their souls as disciples of Christ.

Moreland argues that Scripture, sound philosophical reasoning, and everyday experience all point to the reality of an immaterial soul.
