The first volume asked who God is. This volume asks what is to become of the man who knows Him, for it is possible to confess every article of the faith and to remain, in the hidden places of the heart, exactly the man one was before.
Man was made to partake of the divine nature. Salvation is not a verdict pronounced over a man once and filed away. It is the healing of his nature and the restoration of the likeness in which he was made. The fathers called this theosis, and they thought it the plain meaning of the incarnation.
The chapters follow that single conviction through four movements: the purpose itself, salvation as healing, the soul, and the repentance and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.
