You might appreciate the book 'Beloved Dust' a work of spiritual theology by Robert Davis Hughes III. From the back cover: 'Hughes makes the bold claim that there is no inherent human spiritual capacity, but rather only the materiality of human existence and the movements of the Holy Spirit within it.' I found this startling at first and am yet to get my head fully around it. I'm more used to the 'we are spiritual beings having a physical experience' line of thought. But I think the former is truer to scripture and I'm enjoying coming to grips with it, and its implications.

Wow. I've been feeling skeptical about this soul/ spirt division lately. Guess I should have learned Greek.
