Opderbeck on Neurobiology and the Soul

Our own David Opderbeck has posted his new paper, A Critical Realist Theology of Law, Neurobiology, and the Soul.  I have read the paper, and it is a wonderful example of a scholar speaking from within a religious tradition — not speaking at a feigned arms length as though a believer could approach his own faith as if it were some sort of zoological specimen.  The double trick for David is doing so in a way that is accessible to those outside his tradition, due in significant part to the fact that he takes the object of inquiry (in this case neurobiology) seriously on its own terms.  I’m sure he’d welcome comments.
