Christ came to save us from sin and death. But what did he save us
for? One beautiful and compelling answer to this question is that
God saved us for union with him so that we might become "partakers
of the divine nature" (1 Pet 2:4), what the Christian tradition has
called "deification." This term refers to a particular vision of
salvation which claims that God wants to share his own divine life
with us, uniting us to himself and transforming us into his
likeness. While often thought to be either a heretical notion or
the provenance of Eastern Orthodoxy, this book shows that
deification is an integral part of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and many
Protestant denominations. Drawing on the resources of their own
Christian heritages, eleven scholars share the riches of their
respective traditions on the doctrine of deification. In this book
, scholars and pastor-scholars from diverse Christian expressions
write for both a scholarly and lay audience about what God created
us to be: adopted children of God who are called, even now, to "be
filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph. 3:19).
