Can Pauline soteriology be categorized as a form of deification?
This book attempts to answer this question by keen attention to the
Greco-Roman world. It provides the first full-scale history of
research on the topic. It is also the first work to fully treat the
basic historical questions relating to deification. Namely, what is
deity in the Greco-Roman world? What are the types of deification
in the Greco-Roman world? Are there Jewish antecedents to
deification? Does Paul consider Christ to be a divine being? If so,
according to what logic? How is Pauline deification possible in
light of ancient Jewish "monotheism"? How is deification possible
with a strong notion of creation? Although a rigorously historical
study, no attempt is made to avoid theological issues in their
historical context. Deification, it is argued, provides a new
historical category of perception with which to deepen our
knowledge of the Apostle's religious thought in its own time. This
book is intended for an academic audience. The range of topics
discussed here should interest a wide-array of scholars in the
fields of Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Classics, and Patristics.
