In this book, New Testament scholar Joel Green discusses the nature of humanity in light of current research in neuroscience. He argues for the monistic view that a person cannot exist apart from a physical body. His arguments are based more on science than biblical exegesis, and when he does finally engage the biblical material, he offers strained interpretations in order to make the Bible fit his understanding of current scientific findings. And he ignores much biblical evidence that would challenge his view. Although his conclusions are not convincing, he writes with clarity and verve as always, and his offering of a minority viewpoint is worth the reading. ( )
Despite these weaknesses, Green's book is well worth reading. Although much of the material is very similar to other books and articles that Green has published, there are enough new ideas and arguments for this to be valuable even for those familiar with his work. Those people new to the conversation will find the book easy to engage, though they may find some of his conclusions surprising. It will be particularly helpful for anyone seeking to understand the science and exegesis that lies behind the growing support for physicalist ontologies among some evangelicals.
