Part VI. Human Beings and the Fall
46. HUMAN BEINGS AS BODY AND SOUL

Summary:
1. Human beings have a material body and an immaterial soul.
2. Human beings are a unity-in-duality. Christianity rejects the Greek notion of dualism.
3. The human body is part of God’s good creation. Though it is fallen, as is the soul, neither are inherently evil.
4. The human soul is not naturally eternal. It must be created and sustained by God.

Biblical passages for reflection:
Genesis 1:1-2:25; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Matthew 10:28; Romans 8:18-23; 1 Corinthians 15:35-55;
