Perspectives rooted in patristic thought, Byzantine and Western Medieval mystical experience, and modern theological and philosophical discourse converge to present an astonishingly rich concept whose potential to revitalize contemporary theology has still not been exhausted. This important book is a tour de force that deserves to be widely read.---Norman Russell, Honorary Research Fellow of St Stephen's House, University of Oxford, and author of The Doctrine of Deification in the Greek Patristic Tradition.
