HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE MARY E. McDONOUGH (1863-1962)Mary McDonough states in the first chapter of her book, Gods Plan of Redemption in a section entitled Mans Tripartite Being: Hence man is not a dichotomous but is a trichotomous being; he is made up of spirit, soul, and body. The spirit is the seat of God-consciousness, the soul the seat of self-consciousness, and the body, of world-or sense-consciousness. With the spirit we know God and our relation to Him, as well as our relation morally to every created object. With our soul powers-the intellect, sensibilities (affections, emotions), and will-we are able to deal with the intuitions of the spirit, the claims of these various soul faculties, and the record of the bodily senses. (16-17)
