Deification: The Lost Doctrine Of The Early Church
December 10, 2020

Yesterday I had a wonderful conversation with Father Kenneth Tanner. During our talk, he referenced a quote from Athanasius that got my wheels turning.
What he mentioned was that the early Church Father had taught something about the Incarnation of Christ being a journey, not an event in time, where Jesus became fully human only when he died on the cross.
That really got me thinking and so I started to dig into this quote, and into what the early Church Fathers believed about the Incarnation, and that led me to study more about what they believed about the process of Deification within humanity.
