This episode explores the different Christian approaches to the Problem of Death, and argues that the core architectural structure of Christianity was (ultimately) disrupted when the Platonic concept of a “non-physical soul” was introduced into its conceptual framework. This episode also compares and contrasts the traditional Judaeo-Christian approach to the Problem of Death (namely, the concept of Physical Resurrection) with the Platonic “non-physical” Christian approach to the Problem of Death (which was only introduced —much later— into Christianity through the so-called “Roman Christian Commentary Texts”, or long after the Christian Bible had already been finalized). In addition, this episode also presents an accessible overview of the history of Christianity, and explains its conceptual origins, as well as its theological relationship to Judaism.
