520    It is a widely held belief that human beings are both body
       and soul, that our immaterial soul is distinct from our 
       material body. But that traditional idea has been 
       seriously questioned by much recent research in the brain 
       sciences. In Neuroscience and the Soul fourteen 
       distinguished scholars grapple with current debates about 
       the existence and nature of the soul. Featuring a 
       dialogical format, the book presents state-of-the-art work
       by leading philosophers and theologians -- some arguing 
       for the existence of the soul, others arguing against -- 
       and then puts those scholars into conversation with 
       critics of their views. Bringing philosophy, theology, and
       neuroscience together in this way brings to light new 
       nuances and significantly advances the ongoing debate over
       body and soul. - back of book.
