Abstract:

This paper explores the parallel emergence of two theological movements that share ecumenical insights: Theological Interpretation of Scripture (TIS) and deification. It identifies their intrinsic connections to creeds and draws upon their recent scholarly convergence. By highlighting the absence of a robust deificational hermeneutics within the realm of theological interpretation, this paper aims to address that gap by advocating for a deificational hermeneutics that serves the interests of theological interpretation. This argument is founded on three vital theological insights: (1) similar t

Abstract:

Transhumanism presents a view of human progress by transcending the human, regarding finitude and suffering to be fundamental problems that must be overcome by radical bioenhancement technologies. Recent theologians have compared Christianity and transhumanism as competing deifications via grace and technology, respectively. Ron Cole-Turner is a cautious yet optimistic interpreter of the relationship between Christian deification and transhumanism, regarding them, on the one hand, to be incompatible based on self-centeredness vs. kenosis, while on the other hand, they can be compatible through

Abstract:

Many assume that the patristic notion of deification is absent from the mainstreams of post-patristic Western theology. Recent scholarship, however, identifies deification in Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, early Anglicanism, early Methodism and Jonathan Edwards – all fountainheads of Western theology. This article contends that deification is also present in Calvin's theology. It is not a prominent theme in its own right and some of the bolder patristic terminology is not employed. Nonetheless, the concept and imagery of deification regularly appear on stage while other doctrines are explicated.

Abstract:

This essay argues that gnostic deification can be redescribed as self-deification. Self-deification, it is argued, is realized in three “moments”: (1) the intuition of one’s own divine core, (2) deeply reflexive practices of self-knowledge, and (3) identification with a higher divine self. These three moments are contextualized with the help of ancient philosophy and several gnostic texts. Finally, a case study on Simon of Samaria illustrates how the three moments of self-deification play out.

Abstract:

The doctrine of deification (or theosis) has seen renewed interest in recent decades within lines of inquiry that extend beyond its traditional association with the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The ascendancy of Tuomo Mannermaa’s Finnish interpretation of Luther—a rereading of the mercurial monk linking his doctrine of justification to deification—was an important catalyst of this turn of events, as it prompted scholars to reexamine the presence of deification–imagery within the intellectual topography of significant Protestant figures.

Abstract:

The patristic notion of deification has become popular because of a retrieval of Eastern theological motifs, dissatisfaction with Western modernity, and the attractiveness of spiritualities of transformation. Some Reformed theologians embrace the idea of deification, others decidedly reject it because of the distinction between Creator and creature, and problematic aspects of participation ontologies. Calvin’s theology shows a logic of participation that is more theologically balanced than the idea of deification. While the terminology of deification is unhelpful, the aspects of participation

Scholars agree that Cyril of Alexandria is an important patristic proponent of the doctrine of deification. The concept is ubiquitous throughout his writings and often couched in Scriptural phraseology. In his Festal Letters, however, his usual passages of Scripture and the traditional terminology to describe deification are absent. In this essay, I argue that in spite of the dearth of deification language in these letters, Cyril teaches its basic tenets but within a pastoral context that emphasizes the dynamic, practical means of deification through an ascetic lifestyle.

ABSTRACT: Ovid's Fasti is full of stories of apotheosis, that is, the supernatural process by which mortals are inducted into the community of gods. Typically, these stories involve a divine agent or sponsor who effects the change (consider Julius Caesar, Anna Perenna, Romulus, Hippolytus, Ino and Melicertes). Deification is a separate event, namely the process by which mortals receive divine honors and worship from other mortals. Among the deification narratives in the Fasti , the story of Lucretia (2.721-852) demands attention, as Brutus commemorates Lucretia's suffering and death by declari

Abstract:

Although the concept of theosis, or deification, is usually associated with Eastern Orthodoxy, it has enjoyed an ecumenical renaissance in modern and contemporary Christian theology. Nevertheless, not all uses of the idea are equal; some fall short of its full significance in Orthodox soteriology. Within Orthodox theology deification has become the cause of some debate. The Palamite essence/energies distinction is essential if the idea of deification is not to lead to panentheism.

This paper investigates the question of deification in two groups of New Testament texts, i.e. the Pauline Epistles and the “Johannine literature” (fourth Gospel and Epistles of “John”), as well as the Greek patristic tradition. Though a specialized vocabulary referring to deification is missing from these groups of texts, Greek fathers used a very sophisticated combination of Pauline and “Johannine” concepts for the development of their respective theologies of deification. This study tries to explain why the patristic theologies of deification are so closely emulating Paul and “John” and it

Abstract Some contemporary Baptists (Medley and Kharlamov) argue that the conservative Baptists in North America need to incorporate the concept of deification into their traditional soteriology because they failed to present the continual and transforming nature of salvation.

The theology of deification in the Christian tradition is fraught with misconceptions.

Hans Urs von Balthasar, through his examination of the teachings of the early Church Fathers, presents the doctrine in its Christocentric context, emphasizing its kenotic and inherently relational character.

There is, however, a renaissance of the concept of deification or theosis in contemporary theology even outside its traditional home in Eastern Orthodoxy. Many Roman Catholic and Protestant theologians have discovered that although the two metaphors, justification and deification, emphasise different aspects of salvation, they are not incompatible with each other.

Religious and anthropological issues of the Eastern Patristics legacy are under consideration in the article. The conceptual justification of the human being by Greek-Byzantine Church Fathers is submitted, paying attention to antinomianism in understanding the Man essence. The human duality is analyzed in tight with the diversity of historical theologian approaches to clarifying the New Testament thesis on the creation of Man in the image and likeness of God. In this context, a doctrine of Irenaeus, a Church Father of the ante-Nicene period of Christianity, some ideas of a non-canonical Early

Abstract:

Since Captain Cook’s demise at Kealakekua Bay, Hawai'i in 1779, his alleged deification by Hawaiians as their god Lono has been the subject of passionate debate. Despite decades of discussion, indigenous Hawaiian perspectives that prompt different theoretical questions have been ignored. In her translation of Kumulipo, a Hawaiian creation chant, Queen Lili'uokalani states that it was chanted for Cook as part of his deification ceremony. Yet there is no direct connection between Lono and Kumulipo, and while many chants honor Lono during Makahiki rituals, Kumulipo is not one of them. This essay

Abstract:

Abstract In this article, I argue that the notion of “participation” often used to describe Paul’s soteriology in Romans entails a form of deification. In chapter 8 Paul develops this notion through the use of an interchange dynamic whereby believers are given a share in righteousness, sonship, glory, immortality, power over evil and love. Justification and participation both have their natural goal in being united with God in love (Rom 8:37-39). In a concluding hymn Paul uses a non-propositional description of a love which comes to humans from the outside of creation. This concluding metaphor
