After this past quarter, from all the readings for class (especially these two), the discussions had with fellow classmates, and the paper I eventually churned out on the image of God as telos, I&#8217;ve become convinced of nonreductive physicalism. Whereas before the this quarter I had no real theological use for the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ryannewson.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9547509&amp;post=535&amp;subd=ryannewson&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
