Description
This volume brings together a series of contributions by leading
theologians on the doctrine of theosis or deification in the
Eastern and Western Christian traditions. While it is still often
assumed that the theme of theosis was exclusively developed in
the Eastern theological tradition after the Patristic period, and that
it has since been a contentious and even divisive theological subject,
this volume was explicitly conceived as a forum for ecumenical encounter
and as an opportunity to explore articulations of this doctrine in both
the Eastern and Western traditions. Presenting case studies that treat a
variety of periods, theological fields, and authors, this volume
highlights the richness and relevance of the doctrine of deification.
