Partakers of the Divine Nature: Orthodox Spirituality in an Age of Secularization

The question of secularization—both what it means and how the Church should respond to it—lies at the heart of the crisis in which Christianity finds itself as it confronts the modern world. Here Metropolitan Job Getcha offers reflections on how the Church can evangelize a secular world and reconcile both man and creation to the Creator. This book weaves together both the need for man to find a way of life that avoids the nihilism and despair so prevalent in modernity and the transformative effect such a life must have on the cosmos. To become partakers of the divine nature ultimately means to become, in the words of the Apostle, "co-workers with God," sharing in His work to transfigure the world into the place of peace and harmony that was its purpose from the beginning.
