This addition to the well-known series of theological monographs deals with the use of the Greek work traditionally translated ''body'' but recently as ''person'', especially in certain parts of the writings of Paul. Theologians have argued that the translation as ''person'' defines man as an indivisible whole and as a complex of relationships rather than an organization of substances. Against the trends of modern biblical theology, Dr Gundry seeks to show that soma always refers to the individual physical body and that it should be defined in substantive categories.

Neither antagonism between body and spirit nor the possible independence of full personhood from physical existence characterizes biblical anthropology. Less
