Theosis, Tradition, and Critiquing the Tradition

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the concept of theosis and its relationship to tradition. They explore the idea that certain communities, including imperial Christians, have better captured the essence of theosis compared to others. They also debate whether certain teachings and dogmas, such as predestination and penal substitution, are negations of the tradition or participations in the end goal. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the method used to critique and define the tradition.
