Theosis

Theosis comes from the Greek θέωσις and literally means "divine state" — Theo (God, divinity) + osis (state or condition). Think of words like theology (God-talk) and gnosis (a state of knowledge) to understand how the word is constructed. <a href=/unknowing/theosis/>Read More »</a>

The "idea" that I'm referring to is the notion that Christian spirituality can be understood as involving three stages. To give this notion a bit of gravitas, Origen appealed to the Hebrew Scriptures. <a href=/unknowing/three-dimensions/>Read More »</a>
