Dogma and Spirituality in Cyrillian Logic. Ontological and Dynamic Aspects of Deification through Participation (καηà μεηοςζίαν) to the Divine Life

Summary/Abstract: About the Cyril's use of 'physical' images from philosophy we may concluded that they are not used by him in a technical fashion, that the σάρξ of Christ is life giving (ζωοποιόν). He also says that the σῶμα of Christ is ζωοποιόν. The body and blood which are offered in the Eucharist are also said to be life giving. He says that the σῶμα of Christ was completely full of ability which is proper to God. The renaissance of the theosis theme in contemporary systematic theology is a measure of the Western theologians‟ willingness to engage constructively with a typically “Eastern” idea. Clearly, the notion of theosis is no longer “owned” by the Christian East.
