Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: Being Deified examines the importance of deification to Christian theology and the place of human creativity in deification. Deification is an explanatory force for the major categories of Christian theology: creation, fall, incarnation, theological anthropology, as well as the sacraments. Deification explains, in part, the why of creation and the what of humanity: God created in order to deify, humanity is treated to be deified; the what of the Fall: the desire for divinity outside of God's gifts; one of the purposes for the Incarnation: to deify; and what end the sacraments aid: deification. Essential to deification is human creativity for humans are created in the image of God, the Creator. In order to explore this dimension of deification, this essay focuses on works of poetry and fantasy, in many ways the pinnacle of human creativity since both genres cause the making strange of things familiar (language and creation itself) in part to make them better known, particularly as creations of the Creator.; David Russell Mosley earned a PhD in theology from the University of Nottingham. This volume is based on a dissertation completed at the University of Nottingham under the supervision of Dr. Simon Oliver and Dr. Mary Cunningham. He is currently an adjunct at Johnson University teaching courses in Trinitarian theology and foundations of Christian faith.; Google Preview content
