Theosis and Forgiveness in the Gospel of Matthew

Authors:
Publisher:
 2023

Summary

In this book, Kangil Kim reads the Matthean teaching of forgiveness through the framework of theosis. Kim argues that theosis provides a theological lens that brings into sharper focus the meaning of forgiveness, especially with respect to the dynamics of heaven and earth and of God and the human in Matthew’s Gospel. Forgiveness as an embodied way of life is more than following Jesus and imitating what Jesus does but one of theosis, the extension of God’s own power working itself out through Jesus in our lives.
