Christ, The Firstfruits of Theosis: Early Christian Theosis (CD)

Roger Cook, "Christ, The Firstfruits of Theosis: Early Christian Theosis," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2002.

For years the Church has been criticized for not conforming to mainstream Christian views. We are told we are not Christian as we do not hold the Classical doctrines of the Trinity, the ontological otherness of God, and a philosophic monotheism which makes God the necessary and only possible ground of existence. Perhaps the most vocal criticism has been aimed at the belief that the faithful are to be exalted and become as God as part of the process of salvation. Indeed, a belief that one can become like God denies each of these mainstream Christian beliefs as the ontological differences between God and man essentially disappear. This presentation will stress the theosis found in Early Judeao/Christian thought, with New Testament Christianity believing that Christ was the firstfruits of theosis just as he was the firstfruits of the resurrection.

BONUS: The Windows Media Video format includes Brant Gardner's presentation, The Gadianton Robbers and the Book of Mormon.

Roger Cook is a part-time faculty employee of the Brigham Young University Philosophy Department.
