In the Eastern Christian tradition body and soul are man as a created being, while the Spirit is the divine Spirit given to man through his participation in the divine energy (i.e., deifying grace).

When Adam sinned the Holy Spirit as divine energy (i.e., grace) was withdrawn from man, and he became a purely natural being. But through the incarnation the eternal Logos has restored the divine likeness ([i]omoisis[/i]) lost by sin and has given man once again a share in the uncreated life and glory of the Spirit. In other words, man in Christ is once again a perfect icon of the Holy Trinity through his restored participation in the divine energy.

It's only around a hundred pages, and I've read it before. It won't be all that much work.

Unfortunately I have heard a number of ways to address this issue, and many of them are Protestant Methods, Is there any Catholic Method that is simple and easy to understand?
