By all means, go look it up! You'd be surprised.

The soul in the bible is often simply the equivalent of 'life' embodied in living creatures. In the earlier usage of the Old Testament it has no reference to the later philosophical meaning of something of an immaterial nature which will survive the body.

The immortal soul concept in modern-day Christianity obviously came from ancient Greek philosophy and it's therefore pretty unbiblical. Lots of scholars agree and admit this, heck go through church history and you'll find someone called Saint Augustine who's largely responsible for the change of how 'souls' are interpreted.

There's often times a huge difference between popular theology and what can be found in the scriptural teachings.
