Body: A Biblical Spirituality For The Whole Person

We hear a lot these days about "spirituality" yet the meaning of the word can be hard to pin down. Often it is used in a vague way to refer to how our spirit relates to God. The result is commonly the belief that we can only relate to God with our soul 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.
