The Spiritual Soul: New Pentecostal Insights on the Human Being (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781666781380)

What is the human soul? What does it do? How does it relate to the brain and body? What is happening in the soul when a person encounters the Holy Spirit? These are some of the questions addressed in The Spiritual Soul as it advances towards its overall goal of proposing a (re)new(ed) Pentecostal/Charismatic understanding of what constitutes a human being. In pursuing this overarching intention, Churchouse responds to the anthropology of two leading Pentecostal scholars, Amos Yong and Veli-Matti Karkkainen--specifically their theological models concerning what a human is constituted / essentially "made up" of--to offer an enhanced Pentecostal model in preference to their monistic view. Drawing upon the sources of biblical studies, the philosophy of mind, and upon the pneumatology that flows from Pentecostal spirituality, Churchouse advances a renewed understanding of the human soul--one illumined by the spirit and the Spirit--to engender his distinctive Pentecostal model of human constitution.
