Depends of how you see the relation between spirit and flesh. Platonists and other idealists seem to think of the person as inhabiting the body. Realists, like Aristotle think of it as the form of the body and the two as inseparable. Immortality of the soul is a platonic nation, and was denied by Aristotle and most realists. A doctrine most firmly established in orthodox Christianity is the resurrection of the body, which is most compatible with realism, as it treats the soul and body as complimentary and that a disembodied soul would therefore be incomplete until it was in some fashion rejoined with it,
to become very like the man Jesus.
