In the fourth book of ''[[De Trinitate]]'', also Augustine of Hippo states that the soul is all in the whole body and all in any part of it.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Augustinus dixit, in ''VI [[De Trinitate]]'', quod anima est tota in toto corpore, et tota in qualibet parte eius.|author=Thomas Aquinas|title=Quaestiones disputatae De Anima|chapter=quaestio 10|url=https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~QDeAn.Q10.Obj16}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
