The article discusses how two Syriac writers, John the Solitary and Isaac of Nineveh, view the relationship between the body, soul, and passion. They believe that the body and soul work together to help humans appreciate the beauty of the world. Humans have three parts: body, soul, and spirit, and live a threefold spiritual life. Both authors think that passion can be good, bad, or neutral, and can be beneficial for spiritual growth. Bad passions can be necessary for progress, as they can be transformed into tools for spiritual growth. Ultimately, salvation involves the whole human, body, soul, and passions can help us ascend spiritually.
