Description
n this shift, young Evangelicals-principally postmoderns themselves-are abandoning “their father’s Evangelicalism” and its perceived linearity, hyper-rationalism, either/or exclusivity, and faith expression, too often perceived as stripped of mystery and wonder. Theosis proposes that to move forward, Evangelicalism must go back to the future, to re-engage with the patristic understanding of salvation as theosis; deification, or union with God. This radical return-and broadening of the doctrine of salvation-has begun to gain traction in Western Christendom, slowly being considered as it has always in the Christian East, as mere Christianity.
