Changes to Does the Image of God Make Humans Immortal?
1 recorded change to part RB2, newest first. Each entry names the problem and the decision taken.
- Clarification
Separated the biblical claim about immortality from the historical claim about Greek influence.
- Issue raised
- The source states flatly that the immortality of the soul comes from Plato and not the Bible. The biblical claim and the historical claim have different kinds of support and were argued together.
- Decision taken
- The biblical argument stands on its own. The historical claim is retained but qualified: the development involves Second Temple Jewish anthropology and centuries of Christian reflection, not a single line of influence.
