Christian Sociological View of the Soul

Some people don't believe in the existence of a soul. I being a Christian have always known that the soul exists (as an embodiment of qualities that is the essence of who you are) and if fact, it is strange to think of existence without having one. I just heard an excellent Christian argument for the existence of the soul and as a sociologist, I think that it can also be used to describe the social actor as an entity equipped and prepared for social interaction. The soul was described as the integration board for the body (including all parts and the brain), mind, senses, skills, physical features and or attributes that provide an illustration 'picture' of the individual. The soul integrates all these different functions and or attributes in a whole functioning entity. When I wrote my doctoral thesis, I wrote on the social imagination as having 3 aspects. The first aspect was seen as the source of the imagination, the second aspect the avatar or body as a measure of components and attributes; in part, a product of the source of the imagination and in part, a tabula rasa that is open to acquiring necessary information through the socialization process; the means to be linked in so to speak. The last aspect was the concept/creative function whereby the source and components 'attributes' come together in order that the avatar is an interacting entity which is able to overcome the temporal condition of existence in order to focus on the development and or growth of the social imagination's three aspects essentially allowing for expansion of the the whole social imagination. In view of this, I would say that the soul is the concept / creative function (in my writings about social imagination) which brings together the other aspects into a functioning whole for the purpose of sustaining its essences and moreover, for the expansion of the soul.
