Theosis is one of those things that I have yet to grasp in the Eastern Orthodox theology. Haven't read enough to get it right yet.
Forgive me Campion if I am wrong, but in the West that expression typically has to do with being united with the will of God. We don't really become God, but become perfect instruments for Him.
And Kolo, I picked up a Pelakin book with one of my gift cards. Thanks for the heads up!

Just got back from Christmas, so I am a bit late in this thread. Seems interesting.
