Deification and Modern Orthodox Theology : Introduction to Contemporary Debates (Brill Research Perspectives in Humanities and Social Sciences / Brill Research Perspectives in Theology)

This much needed volume undertakes the task of critically examining the extent to which deification informs the main debates inside Orthodox theology, focusing on four essential loci: anthropology, the Trinity, epistemology, and ecclesiology.
