I don't think that we have an EO here to do that.

Hi Tanyan,

I would add the following to Dr. Hamblinâ??s excellent list of books:

A.N. Williams, The Ground of Union â?? Deification in Aquinas and Palamas

Aristotle Papanikolaou, Being With God

David Bradshaw, Aristotle East and West (though not specifically on deification it is a must read in understanding the differing trajectories of Western and Eastern theology).

Grace and peace,

David
