ABSTRACT
According to Torrance, theosis is initially accomplished in the work of the Incarnate Son Jesus Christ, then, by extension, in the experience of particular human persons. However, as in the patristic tradition and the theologies of Eastern Orthodoxy, the entire creation is somehow involved or caught up in the ‘deification’ of humanity. It is not that creation experiences theosis as such, but rather that there is a cosmic scope to theosis that Torrance, no less than his Eastern colleagues, emphasises.
