Soul

The word soul has a quite a number of meanings, but most of them can be reduced to the following three categories:

1. Life or the life force, especially in connection with blood
2. One's soul or the immaterial being, the seat of intellect and emotion
3. An individual or person.

The Bible typically considers a person as an interconnected whole. This is why the Bible tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength- in other words, with our entire being.
