Ep44. John's Missional Theosis, Michael J. Gorman

I sat down with Michael J. Gorman to discuss his recent book on the Gospel of John, Abide and Go: Missional Theosis in the Gospel of John (Cascade, 2018). We talk theosis, participation, spirituality, and mission – and how, in this gospel, these categories are not as separated as we might have thought. Gorman’s work reconfigures our thinking on a lot of topics, from forgiveness of sins, to the formation of community, and the ethic of enemy love.
