Theosis
The goal of the human person
This exploration is coming soon. It will cover theosis — deification — as the telos of human existence according to the Eastern Christian tradition.
The exploration will draw on Maximos the Confessor's cosmic vision of humanity as mediator and Gregory Palamas's defense of the genuine experiential content of divine union. It will examine what theosis is not — not absorption, not the erasure of the person, not a metaphor for moral improvement — and what it is: the real participation of the whole human being in the uncreated life and light of God, beginning now and reaching its fullness beyond death.
