Do Christians become Gods? Explaining Theosis with Michael Reardon
from The Remnant Radio's Podcast · host The Remnant Radio
Do Christians become Gods? Explaining Theosis with Michael Reardon What does it mean to be a partaker of the divine nature? What does it mean to have the life of Jesus manifest in our bodies? What does it mean to grow up into mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ? Well, the ancient church called it Theosis. In short, theosis is the deification of the Church. But in what way and to what end is the church deified? As an evangelical protestant, hearing the phrase “deification” causes an involuntary Gag reflex deep within me. However, after a good bit of study, I don’t think the doctrine of “sanctification” is sufficient to express all that Christ has provided for us. There may be something in the doctrine of theosis that evangelical protestants may want to rediscover. In this episode, my new friend Michael Reardon is with us to discuss the doctrine of Theosis, with a special emphasis on Ecclesiological Theosis. Michael is the Professor of Biblical Languages and Religious Thought at Canada Christian College in Ontario. I had the privilege of sitting in on Michael’s presentation at ETS this year and thought he would be great to have on the show.
