Theology has traditionally taught the duality of man, composed of a material body and an immaterial soul which survives the destruction of the body.

From such a perspective, the inner springs of personal life reside in what is not accessible to the senses.

However, advances in neuroscience highlight the deep links between the neuronal-cerebral functioning of the body and the functions traditionally attributed to the soul: rationality, emotions, character, even religious experience.

Body-soul dualism is also attacked on the biblical front: many contemporary theologians consider the idea of ​​an immortal soul to be more Greek than biblical.

Is the classic representation of the human being still acceptable today?
