Avery-Peck 2000 says, "Scripture does not present even a rudimentarily developed theology of the soul" [224] and "The notion of the soul as an independent force that animates human life but that can exist apart from the human body—either prior to conception and birth or subsequent to life and death—is the product only of later Judaism".

Augustine: "This cannot be before the soul is so joined to the body, that nothing may sever them.
