Early Church (1st–3rd century)
Spirit vs. flesh → very common Inner man → very common Two Trees → symbolic but not systematized
1600s–1800s (Mystics & Pietists)
Emphasis on:
Inner life
Hearing God
Subduing the flesh
But still no unified framework.
1900s (Keswick, Watchman Nee, Pentecostalism)
This is where:
Spirit/soul/body
Flesh vs. spirit
Hearing God
Inner man growth
became more structured.
Late 1900s–2000s (Charismatic & Grace movements)
Emphasis on:
Perfect spirit
Renewing the mind
Subduing the flesh
But again — no Two Trees integration.
