Being Deified examines the importance of deification to Christian
theology and the place of human creativity in deification.
Deification is an explanatory force for the major categories of
Christian theology: creation, fall, incarnation, theological
anthropology, as well as the sacraments. Deification explains, in
part, the why of creation and the what of humanity: God created in
order to deify, humanity is treated to be deified; the what of the
Fall: the desire for divinity outside of God's gifts; one of the
purposes for the Incarnation: to deify; and what end the sacraments
aid: deification. Essential to deification is human creativity for
humans are created in the image of God, the Creator. In order to
explore this dimension of deification, this essay focuses on works
of poetry and fantasy, in many ways the pinnacle of human
creativity since both genres cause the making strange of things
familiar (language and creation itself) in part to make them better
known, particularly as creations of the Creator.
