Need a Christian Be a Mind/Body Dualist?

Faith and Philosophy 12 (4):489-504 (1995)
Abstract Although prominent Christian theologians and philosophers have assumed the truth of mind/ixrdy dualism, I want to raise the question of whether the Christian ought to be a mind/body dualist. First, I sketch a picture of mind, and of human persons, that is not a form of mind/body dualism. Then, I argue that the nondualistic picture is compatible with a major traditional Christian doctrine, the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. Finally, I suggest that if a Christian»eed»ot be a mind/body dualist, then she shou(d »ot be a mind/body dualist
