How remembering the importance of our souls changes our outlook during a pandemic

Description

The belief that we are “soulish creatures” has been at the heart of Christian teaching about the nature of humanity since the beginning, but today we are told that believing in a spiritual aspect to our nature is out of step with modern science. There are good answers to these modern challenges to Christian teaching, but let us instead take a few minutes to reflect on the importance of the classic Christian perspective in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It is natural, when faced with mortal threats to the body, to focus on protection from them as our immediate and most pressing concern.
