Theosis and Moral Transformation The epistle of 2 Peter is not merely a polemic against false teachers; it is founded upon a compelling theological vision of life with God. In my commentary on 2 Peter, I argue that the letter’s ethical foundation lies in the concept articulated in 1:3-4: that believers “become sharers of the divine nature.” This principle, referred to at times as theosis, acts as the organizing theological theme of the letter.

Identifying the Crisis in Evangelical Theology Today - Lifeway Research May God grant us grace by His Word and in His Spirit to overcome the greater crisis in evangelical theology today.

According to Lifeway, 32% of "evangelicals" do not believe Jesus was God. 47% do not believe the Holy Spirit is a person. 47% do not believe in objective religious truth. The result of decades of teaching moralism instead of historic Christian orthodoxy.
