Deification in the Latin Patristic Tradition

---

Outline: It has become a commonplace to say that the Latin Fathers did not really hold a doctrine of deification. Indeed, it is often asserted that Western theologians have neglected this teaching, that their occasional references to it are borrowed from the Greeks, and that the Latins have generally reduced the rich biblical and Greek Patristic understanding of salvation to a narrow view of redemption. The essays in this book challenge this common interpretation by exploring, often for the first time, the role this doctrine plays in a range of Latin Patristic authors. The introductory essay on the Latin liturgy shows the wide-ranging use of deification themes in Latin worship, while the concluding essays comparing the Greek and Latin Fathers provides the first serious study of the understanding of deification by both East and West in light of substantial evidence. Other essays explore the theology of deification in Perpetua and Felicity, Tertullia, Cyprian, Novatian, Hilary, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Peter Chrysologus, Leo the Great, Boethius, Benedict and Gregory. As a whole, these essays demonstrate that deification is a native part of early Latin theology, which was consistently and relatively employed. This book will be the beginning of a long-overdue conversation. It promises to stimulate further inquiry into the place deification holds in the grammar of Latin Patristic thought and its relation to the Greek tradition.
