What did the early fathers of Christianity say about the life of union with Christ? The term Theosis comes up consistently in patristic writing about the transformation of the Christian life. That term seems foreign to the average Christian. The contemplative authors, the Desert Fathers, and the Eastern Christian mystics were well acquainted with the concept. What kind of wisdom might they have for us today? Join Joshua Hoffert and Murray Dueck as they begin a deep dive into the theory of Theosis.
"The soul is like iron, which rusts when neglected, but is purified when fired. As long as it remains in the fire, it becomes like the fire, and no one can handle it, because it is red hot from the fire. So it is with the soul. To the extent that it remains close to God and communes with Him, it becomes fire and consumes all of its adversaries, who have caused it to rust during the time of its neglect." Isaiah of Scetis
