What is a human being? Do we have a soul—and is it immortal? Do we have a spirit, and is it different from the soul? How does that spirit relate to the Holy Spirit? Does the difference between soul and spirit matter at all—biblically, or in the life of prayer?
Orthodox theologian Fr. Laurent Cleenewerck draws together strands that are usually kept apart: quantum physics (the collapse of the wave function, quarks, the nature of light); the architecture of the Temple (the Holy of Holies, the cherubic throne, the veil, the altar of incense); and the mystical theology of the Eastern Church (the language of icons, the Bridegroom of the soul, heavenly Wisdom).
In these pages you will learn:
- Why Scripture names three realities in a person, not two
- How the Temple’s three chambers map a human being
- How the Fall can be read in the language of quantum physics
- The relationship among soul, heart, mind, and spirit
- Why the mind must descend into the heart—and how
- Why observation changes what it observes
- Why quarks cannot be parted, and why light is never seen
- How fermions and bosons bear on eschatology
- Why the soul is a bride and the spirit loves Wisdom
- How worship and music either carry biblical anthropology or betray it
- How the righteous are transformed into light.
Featuring engraving-style artwork inspired by Pavel Florensky’s The Pillar and Ground of the Truth, this book aims to become a lasting companion for readers who want science, Scripture, and spirituality in the same room—not as rivals, but as witnesses to the same mystery.
