Clement of Alexandria on Theosis

Nikolay Fyodorov

There is only one doctrine which demands not separation but reunification, which sets no artificial aims but one common task for all—the doctrine of kinship… Only this doctrine can provide a solution to the problem of the individual and the masses. Union does not absorb but exalts each individual, while the differences between individuals strengthen unity, which consists in (1) the realization by every person that he is a son, grandson, great-grandson or descendant, that is, a son of all the deceased fathers and not a vagrant in the crowd, devoid of kith and kin ; and (2) the recognition by each and everyone, together and not in disunity as in a mob, of one’s duty to the deceased fathers . . .

Origen

Thou shalt resemble Him . . . having made thee even God to his glory.

Cyprian

What man is, Christ was willing to be – so that man may also be what Christ is. Dwell in expectation of receiving what the Father has granted to the Son.
