these guys invented the Christian soul?

The early Hebrews apparently had a concept of the soul but did not separate it from the body, although later Jewish writers developed the idea of the soul further. Old Testament references to the soul are related to the concept of breath and establish no distinction between the ethereal soul and the corporeal body. Christian concepts of a body-soul dichotomy originated with the ancient Greeks and were introduced into Christian theology at an early date by St. Gregory of Nyssa and by St. Augustine.

Is the Christian soul new and improved compared to the Jewish one?

Only if it was produced in Motown. Everyone knows that’s where the best soul comes from.

I think that kind of soul is almost dead, except for james Brown and maybe a few funk guys.

Unfortunately, that’s very true.
