I'm still trying to figure out where I stand on this. I think I'm some kind of emergent mind-body dualist. It seems to me that there is some kind of immaterial mind that probably doesn't operate in strict accord with the laws that govern material existence, but that mind seems to arise from a certain configuration of material components and its functionality is influenced by influences on those components.
I stumbled upon a blog post by Glenn Peoples who makes the argument that a Christian position on the mind-body problem ought to be a materialist position from a strictly scriptural viewpoint, which I thought was interesting: http://www.rightreason.org/2014/dust-n-breath-1/.
