This scholarly work provides an in-depth examination of the concept of deification in the early Greek patristic tradition, tracing its development and theological nuances from its Platonic origins to its adoption and adaptation by early Christian thinkers. The book explores how this transformative process of becoming godlike through the grace of God was articulated by the Church Fathers, including key figures such as Irenaeus, Origen, and Gregory of Nyssa, highlighting its significance in the context of soteriology and its implications for understanding the relationship between God and humans in Eastern Orthodox theology.
