A System of Biblical Psychology builds off of nearly 40 years of work and Franz Delitzsch’s dissertation on the elements of the nature of man, particularly “whether the soul, so far as it is distinguished from the spirit, belongs by its nature to matter or to spirit.” The text addresses ideas and concepts Delitzsch discusses in his other books, but emphasizes the distinctions between soul and spirit found in Scripture. Recognizing and comprehending the simultaneous unity and distinctions between soul and spirit, he believes, is essential to understanding the psychology of Scripture. Delitzsch provides a thorough introduction to understanding biblical psychology and a multitude of daring ideas.
