Consciousness: Brain, Soul, Spirit and the Question of God explores one of humanity’s deepest mysteries: what does it mean to experience, think and be aware?
Written from an evangelical Christian perspective, this book brings neuroscience, philosophy and biblical reflection into conversation. It examines leading theories of consciousness, the relationship between brain, soul and spirit, near-death experiences, free will and the ways human experience can be influenced. It also considers whether artificial intelligence could become conscious and how Revelation 13’s speaking image should be understood.
With four infographics, nine tables and an extensive bibliography, this thoughtful exploration distinguishes scientific findings from philosophical arguments and statements of faith, inviting readers to reflect on human dignity, responsibility and hope in God.

Touch Between Body and Soul is a biopsychosocial and ethical exploration of human touch. Gerard Feller examines how touch is processed by the skin, nervous system and brain, while also considering its emotional, relational and spiritual significance.
Drawing on neuroscience, pain science, psychology, trauma-informed care, sexology and Christian ethics, the book discusses social connection, therapeutic touch, chronic pain, intimacy, consent, abuse, sensory vulnerability, pastoral care and grounding. It shows how touch can provide comfort, safety and connection, but may also become harmful when boundaries, consent or differences in power are ignored.
Written for general readers, pastoral workers and healthcare professionals, this carefully researched book offers a balanced framework for understanding touch as both a physical experience and a deeply personal form of human communication.
This essay explores the fascinating relationship between neurophysiology and neurotheology. Drawing on recent scientific insights, it describes how brain networks are involved in identity, conscience, connectedness, volitional intention, awareness of God and spiritual maturity.
The essay also examines the complex interaction between faith and mental health. Topics such as trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis and religious experiences are discussed with care. Faith can offer meaning, hope and connection, but it can also become intertwined with feelings of guilt, spiritual struggle or psychological disturbance.
The essay avoids both a reductionist explanation of faith and a denial of human biological vulnerability. Neuroscience and theology are presented as distinct yet complementary perspectives on the human person.
An accessible and nuanced essay for readers interested in the brain, faith, psychology, pastoral care and mental healthcare.
