Discussion of theosis is mainly undertaken within Byzantine
Orthodoxy and is usually structured around an examination of
patristic and medieval sources. This work builds upon such
discussions and broadens the basis by including Western sources
(Catholic and Protestant) in contemporary debates about salvation.
In seeking to explore a relational understanding of salvation, the
construal of the doctrine of deification is examined in terms of
the divine nature understood as communion. This is related in
particular of the theological project of Zizioulas, and other
exponents of communion ontology. The book is an investigation of
how understandings of theosis in the Christian Tradition have
related to understandings of divine nature in terms of koinonia. It
further suggests a relational paradigm for conceptualising how
theosis may be understood today, drawing out implications for the
Christian community and discipleship.
