Life in the Intermediate State (QoW #1003)
About this episode
Dr. Craig explores the nature of existence as a disembodied soul in the intermediate state, referencing H.H. Price's philosophical insights.
What's it actually like to exist as a disembodied soul in the intermediate state between death and resurrection? A listener writes in with real existential unease about being "unclothed" from the body, and Dr. Craig turns to philosopher H.H. Price's theory that the afterlife might work something like a dream world, where mental images take the place of sense perception and souls communicate with one another telepathically. Dr. Craig walks through how this secular philosophical framework can actually help illuminate a Christian understanding of the intermediate state.
