Faith, Reason, and Theosis
View through CrossRef
“Theosis” is currently a “hot” topic in theology across confessional and methodological boundaries. The authors engage a variety of themes and major figures, such as theosis in the mystical theologies of Dionysius the Areopagite and Meister Eckhart, the Evagrian legacy, the presence or absence of “theosis” in Aquinas and Luther, the enduring significance of Wesley’s understanding of theosis, contemporary Orthodox and Catholic approaches to theosis, the relation of nature to grace, womanist appropriation and critique of theosis, modern and postmodern philosophy’s mis-interpretation of theosis. This book presents essays that examine the interrelation between faith, reason, and theosis from theological, historical, and ecumenical perspectives.
