Spirit, Soul and Body

In his work «Spirit, Soul and Body», Saint Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky), an outstanding surgeon and fervent preacher, recognizing the influence of the physical side of a person on the spiritual, also sees the reverse influence of the spirit on the body, and calls «spirit» the sphere where the spiritual side predominates and rules, while «soul» refers to that sphere where the spiritual is closely intertwined with the physical and depends on it.
