Body: Biblical Spirituality for the Whole Person

Paula Gooder

4.34/5 (71 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

We hear a lot, these days, about 'spirituality', yet the meaning of that word can be hard to pin down. Often it is used in a vague way to refer to the relationship between our 'spirit' and God, resulting in the belief that we can only relate to God with our 'inner' being and not with any other part of ourselves.

Within Christianity, this view is commonly based on the assumption that the Bible contrasts the body and all that is physical with the 'spirit', which is good. But is that really what the Bible says? To answer that question, Paula Gooder explores the evidence, dispelling popular misconceptions, and leading us to a deeper understanding of the value of our bodies in the eyes of God.
