Abstract

Although I have not yet researched the subject as thoroughly as I had planned, I have discovered some interesting things about the deification of man in early Christianity. I began by searching the secondary literature and found that there was much more written on the subject than I had expected. The idea of deification was commonplace; for many, it was synonymous with salvation.
