Amid increasing interaction between Eastern and Western
theologians, several recent biblical interpreters have
characterized Paul's soteriology as theosis, or deification,
harking back to patristic interpretations of Paul. In this book Ben
C. Blackwell critically evaluates that interpretation as he
explores the anthropological dimension of Paul's soteriology.
Blackwell first examines two major Greek patristic interpreters of
Paul -- Irenaeus and Cyril of Alexandria -- to clarify what
deification entails and to determine which Pauline texts they used
to support their soteriological constructions. The book then
focuses on Paul's soteriology expressed in Romans 8 and 2
Corinthians 3-5 (with excursuses on other passages) and explores
how believers embody Christ's death and life, his suffering and
glory, through the Spirit. Blackwell concludes by comparing the
patristic view of deification with Paul's soteriology arising from
the biblical texts, noting both substantial overlap and key
differences.
