Amid increasing interaction between Eastern and Western theologians, several recent biblical interpreters have characterized Pauls soteriology as theosis, or deification, harking back to patristic interpretations of Paul. In this book Ben C. Blackwell critically evaluates that interpretation as he explores the anthropological dimension of Pauls soteriology. Blackwell first examines two major Greek patristic interpreters of Paul -- Irenaeus and Cyril of Alexandria -- to clarify what deification entails and to determine which Pauline texts they used to support their soteriological constructions. The book then focuses on Pauls soteriology expressed in Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 3-5 (with excursuses on other passages) and explores how believers embody Christs death and life, his suffering and glory, through the Spirit. Blackwell concludes by comparing the patristic view of deification with Pauls soteriology arising from the biblical texts, noting both substantial overlap and key differences.
