Triadosis : Union with the Triune God

The complex nature of Christian communion with a personal God requires a nuanced expression.

Since its inception, the early church affirmed God's unknowable nature and also participation in God through Christ.

The church fathers employed the language of theosis in talking about union with God and human transformation in the likeness of God.

However, the term theosis or deification is a broad category and requires precise explanation to avoid human dissolution into the divine in the mystical union it attempts to describe.

In Triadosis, Eduard Borysov offers a new approach to the conundrum of the imparticipable divine nature and the prospect of personal union between human and the Trinity.

Most significantly, he proposes that if God is Trinity, then we are created and restored in the image of the same tri-personal God.
