Theosis in the Theology of Thomas Torrance - Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies 1e uitgave

Torrance's vision of Theosis (deification/divinisation) is explored through his doctrine of creation and anthropology, his characterisation of the incarnation, his accounts of reconciliation and union with Christ, and his theology of church and sacraments. Myk Habets' study distinguishes Torrance's Reformed vision of theosis from other possible accounts of salvation as divinisation as they are found, for instance, within patristic thought and Eastern Orthodoxy. This book presents the first critique of the theology of T. F. Torrance to focus on theosis, and examines a model of theosis within the realm of reformed theology built upon Western theology.
