Hudson. Washington, D.C. : Catholic University of America Press, c2007. 1 online resource (xi, 218 p.) Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-213) and index. 1 Theosis in the Greek fathers and Pseudo-Dionysius 11 2 Theophany as self-communication 45 3 Transcendence as the distance between knower and known 89 4 Theosis 134 5 The problem of intellectual salvation. "Nicholas of Cusa's doctrine of theosis reveals the strong influence of Greek philosophy. At issue is his orthodoxy and whether he replaces Christian doctrine with Greek thought, while maintaining only the language of Christian theology. The thorough analysis of theosis in this book reveals that Nicholas of Cusa does indeed follow tradition, though it is the tradition of the Eastern church."--Jacket.
