Nephesh / Soul
4minAudio EN · ES · PT
We explore the Hebrew word "nephesh" that often gets translated as "soul." The English word usually refers to a non-material essence of a human that survives after death, but nephesh means something different. It is referring to humans as living, breathing, physical beings, or just to life itself. Prepare to be surprised at the biblical meaning of this fascinating word in episode 5 of a 6-part series. Thanks to BibleProject for providing this series.
To talk about afterwards
- How is the Greek notion of soul different from the Hebrew one? How did we get the word “soul” from “throat”?
- According to the Bible, we don't have souls, we are souls. What does it mean to be a soul?
- What happens after we die?
