Soul, Structure, and Transformation: Pauline Renewal of the Mind and Holistic Dualism: Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies

Autor Jon Kelly
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2027
Soul, Structure, and Transformation offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the nature of the human soul and Pauline transformation of the mind. It uniquely engages essential biblical, philosophical, and scientific content bearing on the ontology and structure of the immaterial soul and mind to provide an explanation for change and renewal. The methodology locates transformation as an entailment in human flourishing and fitness grounded in the fundamental structure of reality. Initial chapters explicate a matrix for sanctification, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, a Christological exemplar for human agency, and a model of the image of God founded on agency. The author examines five views of the human person and soul, followed by a detailed engagement with J.P. Moreland’s organicist view of holistic dualism and Richard Swinburne’s mental structure to construct an anatomical model of the soul. Turning to the sciences, the book offers an account of organismic plasticity and neuroplasticity that coheres with the restructuring of both the immaterial and material structures of the soul and body. A synthesis of models from theological psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience coheres with the organicist view of holistic dualism articulated throughout, providing a unified ontology and positive account of Pauline transformation and human flourishing. The book will be of interest to both theologians and philosophers.

Recenzii

“Recently, interest has grown in spiritual formation. Until now, lacking is a relevant multidisciplinary analysis of human nature. Jon Kelly’s book addresses this need. His multidisciplinary model shows how humans, cooperating with the Holy Spirit, can be formed and flourish. I highly recommend it.”
–JP Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University
“The death of substance dualism is greatly exaggerated. In a single volume, Dr. Jon Kelly explains why, drawing on biblical, philosophical, and scientific resources in order to do so. Highly recommended.”
–Oliver Crisp, Professor of Analytic Theology, St. Mary’s College, University of St. Andrews
Soul, Structure, and Transformation is a wonderfully rich and ambitious exploration of the nature and dynamics of Christian spiritual transformation from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Informed by contemporary philosophy of mind, theology, and the neurosciences, the book will chart new trajectories in the field.”
–Ross D. Inman, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“This is a highly constructive and original contribution to theological anthropology. Kelly’s interdisciplinary synthesis of philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and theology is both rigorous and accessible, offering theologians and philosophers a valuable resource for understanding human transformation through the life of faith.”
–Andrew Torrance, Professor of Theology, University of St. Andrews
Soul, Structure, and Transformation is an indispensable resource for understanding the nature and prospects of the human person. Clear, careful and comprehensive, it integrates the ontology of persons with the active work of the Holy Spirit in our transformation.”
–Gregory Ganssle, Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology
“In this very wide-ranging, well-informed, and closely reasoned book, Jon Kelly engages with relevant work in biblical studies, theology, philosophy, and neuroscience. He offers a provocative and insightful theological proposal that is relevant not only for academic theology but also for pastoral care.”
–Thomas H. McCall, Asbury Theological Seminary
Soul, Structure, and Transformation is a tour de force! Competently pulling from multiple disciplines, Jon Kelly has composed a holistic, comprehensive model of the soul and transformation grounded in biblical revelation and Christian metaphysics. Philosophers, theologians, and psychologists alike will benefit from his achievement. Very highly recommended!”
–Eric L. Johnson, PhD, Director of Training, Christian Psychology Institute
“As a rich contribution to Christian philosophy, Jon Kelly, in Soul, Structure, and Transformation develops an ontology of human nature and the ‘image’ of God that grounds human transformation both biblically and scientifically, and invites further transdisciplinary work in science-engaged theology. While I myself prefer a Cartesian version of substance dualism, Kelly offers a rich model that cannot be ignored.”
–Joshua R. Farris, Rev. PhD, Director of Soul Science Institute, Kairos University
“In Soul, Structure, and Transformation, Jon Kelly provides a robust framework for human thriving by bridging Pauline ontology, analytic philosophy, and behavioral science. This well-researched work demonstrates how holistic dualism facilitates genuine soul transformation and lasting flourishing.”
–Mark Foreman, PhD, Pastor Emeritus of North Coast Calvary Chapel
“In Jon Kelly’s Soul, Structure, and Transformation religious experience meets theology, philosophy, and neuroscience. Reading Kelly’s analytic and scientifically engaged analysis of Christian transformation simultaneously challenged my mind and nourished my soul.”
–Dr. Matthew Owen, Department of Philosophy, Yakima Valley College & Center for Consciousness Science, University of Michigan
Soul, Structure, and Transformation provides a thought-provoking and fascinating analysis of Christian transformation spanning the fields of theology, philosophy of mind, and neuroscience. Those intrigued by the concept of holistic dualism will find it well worth the read!”
–Dr. Darren Hight, PhD, Scientist, University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland
