Deification in the Greek patristic tradition was the fulfilment of
the destiny for which humanity was created - not merely salvation
from sin but entry into the fullness of the divine life of the
Trinity. This book, the first on the subject for over sixty years,
traces the history of deification from its birth as a
second-century metaphor with biblical roots to its maturity as a
doctrine central to the spiritual life of the Byzantine Church.
Drawing attention to the richness and diversity of the patristic
approaches from Irenaeus to Maximus the Confessor, Norman Russell
offers a full discussion of the background and context of the
doctrine, at the same time highlighting its distinctively Christian
character.
