Theosis: Partakers of the Divine Nature (booklet)

By Mark Shuttleworth

The Apostle Peter once reminded readers that through Christ, they were "partakers of the divine nature." What is the meaning of this profound statement? How is it possible for human beings to be united to the eternal God? This booklet examines this crucial question from an Orthodox perspective, drawing heavily from Scripture and from the writings of the early and later Church Fathers.
