Some Notes on Theological Anthropology

Reading the second chapter of a handbook of Catholic Dogmatics concerning the theological anthropology. I have two questions:

1) the theological anthropology tries to be in accordance with the Holy Scripture, thus the Platonic hostility towards the body must be given up. In the Holy Scripture we find the testimonies for the imago Dei in the Genesis. But the Bible exegesis seems to differ between the older (Gen. 2,4ff) and younger (Gen. 1, 1-2.4) report of creation. What is exactly meant with the older and younger report? Were these passages written in different times? Shall look up in Commentary to the Bible later.

2) What is exactly the difference between "Spirit", "Soul" and "Body", as mentioned for example in the Book Sapientia (2,23)?
