048 - Comparing & Contrasting Meredith Kline's Understanding of the Glory-Spirit and the Image of God with the Eastern Orthodox Doctrine of Theosis

Lee has done a fair amount of reading about the Eastern Orthodox doctrine of theosis. As we discussed our way through Images of the Spirit, it seemed like there were some point of similarity between what Kline was seeing in the Scriptures about the Glory-Spirit replicating his image in human beings in terms of physical luminosity, and the Eastern Orthodox doctrine of theosis. We thought we would explore this idea in this episode.
