Unity of personality (Judaism, Christianity)

Description

The individual person is looked upon as a totality and it is this total "I" which confronts God, not the body or the mind or the spirit as separate entities. The whole person sins and the whole person repents for being that kind of total person which originates and commits sinful acts. It cannot be said that one "has" a body or "has" a spirit - one is an embodied spirit. Although the psyche (soul, life constituted in man) and pneuma (spirit, life having origin in God) are two separate terms, they can be used interchangeably. Both describe the psychospirituality which is the inner core of human personality.
