In this episode, J.P. and Stan continue discussing a path toward ethical clarity through the complex conversations surrounding death and dying. In this podcast we discuss: Is death a process or an event?What are the major distinctions and implications between the two views of how the body and soul are “connected”?What is the difference between having consciousness because of the soul and being alive because of the soul?How do we evaluate issues in medicine in light of J.P. and Stan’s understanding of the soul-body relationship?Can our identity be sustained until the final resurrection, even after the death of our bodies?What is the “intermediate state” and how do different views of what the soul is explain what happens to the person during that state?When we’re faced with end-of-life decisions for ourselves and others, what kind of questions should we ask?How can we move from “hoping” in a future glory to acknowledging the bodily resurrection as a reality?Why does an accurate understanding of the proper use of the body leads to flourishing? Resources mentioned during our conversation:P. Moreland and Stan Wallace, Aquinas versus Locke and Descartes on the Human Person and End-of-Life EthicsBilly Graham paraphrasing Dwight L. Moody, The Autobiography of Dwight L. MoodyStan Wallace, "Saying ‘Goodbye’ Well"________, “What are We?
