Description
Summary:This article mainly tells something about Theosis and Kenoticism in Contemporary Vampire Series. Theosis, or divinization, refers to the infinite process of self-perfection that is the basis of Christian life. Kenoticism, or “self-emptying”, describes the imitation of Christ’s humility. Exploring the human-vampire relationship in light of these ideas reveals the implicit Christian underpinnings of and approach to morality in these series.
