The Spiritual Soul

"""The Spiritual Soul beautifully draws a Pentecostal model of the human constitution that owes as much to the ancient notion of the soul as to contemporary Pentecostal sensitivities of the spirit. Churchouse advances a Pentecostal anthropology that has significant philosophical, ethical, metaphysical, and spiritual implications for not only our understanding of the human being but the encounter of the human soul with God."" --Wolfgang Vondey, professor of Christian theology and Pentecostal studies, University of Birmingham ""Churchouse's book provides a significant contribution to the discussion of the human constitution in Pentecostal theology. It challenges 'emergent monism' and provides a renewed dualist position. The thesis of the book is that the human constitution should be regarded in terms of 'Enspiritable Holistic Dualism.' Churchouse brings an important voice to the conversation that has the potential to change it completely. I commend this book to scholars and students alike."" --Mark J. Cartledge, professor of practical theology, London School of Theology ""Churchouse offers a renewed model for human ontology. His 'Enspiritable Holistic Dualism' is a creative construction of human constitution, which is not only sensitive to Pentecostal spirituality but is biblically based, theologically informed, and philosophically robust. It is an alternative to the 'emergent monism' of Amos Yong and Veli-Matti K�rkk�inen and is to date the most comprehensive defense and development of Pentecostal substance dualism."" --Simo Frestadius, dean of research, Regents Theological College"
