Dualism, Cosmology, and Darkness: Examining the Nature of God, Creation, and Man

Dummy for Theology

In this episode of the Dummy 4 Theology podcast, we explore questions surrounding the duality of man and the cosmos! Dualism has taken the form of many heresies but has also been an acceptable view of the nature of man. We explore whether there is a dichotomy or trichotomy to mankind, whether the light needs the dark, and whether or not God created darkness!
