Klappentext

What is the ultimate purpose of human life? In Theosis: The True Purpose of Human Life, Archimandrite George of the Holy Monastery of St. Gregorios on Mount Athos offers a clear and inspiring answer drawn from the heart of Orthodox Christian tradition: that we are called to Theosis-union with God. Through concise and spiritually enriching reflections, the author explains that Theosis is not reserved for saints or monastics, but is the destiny of every human being. It is the process of transformation by which, through the grace of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we become partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Accessible to readers of all backgrounds, this modern spiritual classic presents timeless truths with clarity and pastoral warmth. Whether you are new to the Orthodox faith or seeking a deeper understanding of your spiritual journey, this book will inspire you to rediscover the divine potential within and pursue the life of true communion with God. Perfect for spiritual seekers, students of theology, and anyone longing to know the deeper purpose of life through the lens of Orthodox Christianity.
