I think that inner person and outer person is a better way to see ourselves, rather than body and soul. In the former, there is more a sense of combination, a oneness working together. The inner part of ourselves hungers for the divine. The outer part hungers more for the temporary. Inner and outer can complement one another. Too often when we separate into body and soul, the body gets hit with being bad, a source of all that goes wrong with us. The soul is good and seeks God. The body is not so good, even bad, and must be disciplined to prevent sin. Physical pleasure is bad. Did not this God the soul seeks, make the body also?
