Meaning of theopoesis | Babel Free
Examples
“The Central Orthodox doctrine is called theosis or theopoesis—the divinizing or deifying of humanity. The Eastern Church does not call⟳ for believers to imitate Jesus through the exercise of moral choice, as in the familiar western and liberal Protestant pattern. It summons them rather to participate⟳ in the life of Christ through the transformative power of the liturgy and sacraments of the church.”
“Finally, the conclusion to this manuscript interprets the text of the Annunciation as theopoesis—as a theopoetic reflection on the enfolding and unfolding of divinity.”
