The Soul of Theological Anthropology: A Cartesian Exploration - Paperback

by Joshua R. Farris (Author)

This book constructively develops a theological accounting of human persons by drawing from a Cartesian model of anthropology. Exploring a substance dualism model, the author highlights relevant theological texts and passages of Scripture, arguing that this model accounts for doctrinal essentials concerning theological anthropology.
