Born in a context of social unrest, many of the earlier voices within Sino-Christian theology have been interested in questions around theological anthropology. However, these scholars have tended to rely upon Western or Latin Christian resources. This paper proposes that Eastern Orthodox theology and, particularly theosis (θέωσις) or deification, can have a significant role to play in the future of Sino-Christian theology.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderTheology -- ChinaTheological anthropology -- Christianity -- History of doctrines -- 1900-1999Theology, Orthodox EasternTheosisReligious ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesAsian theologiesChristian denominationsOrthodox (Eastern, Oriental)Article
