The soul and body are both realities, neither can be allegorized

Since, however, things which belong to the soul have nothing allegorical in them, neither therefore have those which belong to the body. For man is as much body as he is soul; so that it is impossible for one of these natures to admit a figurative sense, and the other to exclude it.

Tertullian
On the Resurrection of the Flesh
Chapter XXXII
