What is a Person?

Is a human being a soul temporarily imprisoned in a body as Plato believed, or is the body restored to the soul at resurrection as Thomas Aquinas theorized? Just what is a person? Dr. Nancy Murphy, Professor of Theology, gives us these and other views such as Christian, Jewish, and Modern Thought as she explains how each perceives the human being. These are fascinating articles to study if you are pondering that universal question, "Who am I?" There is also a worthwhile read, "Science and Religion in Conflict?" and other thought-provoking articles. If you find these writings inspiring, you can join an engaging discussion forum. For anyone who has ever puzzled over who and what we humans are, this site does a fine job of quenching that thirst. Take a look!
