| Sumario: | Traditionally, the doctrine of deification has been embraced significantly in the Eastern tradition. Though glimpses of it can be found throughout Western Christendom, it has often been cast out and labelled as sacrilegious Greek myth.

As well as examining contemporary theologians over the last few decades – from a broad spectrum of Christian traditions – this article will also touch on the brief history of the doctrine, as well as the Western hesitation which the doctrine has received. |
