Analysis

“Soul” is a very special term. Due to lack of space, I shall not approach it here philosophically or scientifically, but exclusively in the context of biblical theology, narrowing it even further, to a linguistic point of view.

Please, not now! Don’t come right now! Please... I suddenly opened my eyes in the darkness of my bedroom and, all of a sudden, the heat wave building up during the nightmare met the coolness of the night reality. You haven’t come yet... Thank you, God!

How do we recognise violations of dignity and their impact on daily life?

The Japanese Okinawans have a peculiar way of eating that supposedly extends their lifespan. What can we learn from them?
