What does the Bible really mean by “soul” and “spirit”? Are they the same thing, or something very different?
In this episode, Tom Wright unpacks key biblical words like psuchē, pneuma, and ekklesia, showing how modern misunderstandings can distort Christian theology.
They also tackle a profound question: Does God “repent”? How do we reconcile passages where God seems to change his mind with the idea that God is unchanging?
This episode is all about getting back to Scripture and avoiding the confusion that comes from some biblical terms and words.
