Beskrivning
Issues such as the immortality of the soul, the debate about matter versus life, and whether one was capable of knowing the outside world were all being extensively discussed in many religions and cultures in both East and West. The present volume addresses the concept of an immortal soul in a mortal body, and focuses on early Judaism and Christianity, where this issue is often related to the initial chapters of the book of Genesis. The papers are devoted to the interpretation of Gen 2:7 in relation to the broader issue of dualistic anthropology. They show that the dualism was questioned in different ways within the context of early Judaism and Christianity.

Recensioner i media

"The editors define a dualistic anthropology as a conception of the human being as consisting of two essentially distinct and potentially conflicting elements, namely, the immortal soul and the earth-bound body (...) The volume serves as a good overview and makes valuable contributions to the discussion around anthropological dualism." - Nicholas A. Meyer, in: Dead Sea Discoveries 25:2 (2018)
