This paper aims to demonstrate that there are significant resonances between Julian’s visions of salvation and Incarnation and the Orthodox Church’s doctrine of theosis. For Julian the contents of salvation is the transformation—in her words, “increasing”—of human nature, which is effected by the Incarnation. While Anselm’s theory focuses on the need to repair the damage caused by sin as the reason for the Incarnation, Julian’s perspective centers on God’s desire to elevate and fulfill human nature through the Incarnation. Julian’s views resonates with the Orthodox’s concept of theosis. Both emphasize that salvation involves a profound and ontological transformation of human nature, which is made possible by the Logos’ becoming flesh. Both perspectives are firmly rooted in the Christology defined by the Ecumenical Councils and see the Incarnation itself as an act of salvation. In both perspectives, the Incarnation is not solely a response to human sin, but serves as the means for humanity to participate in the divine nature(2 Pet. 1:4).
Abstract
This paper aims to demonstrate that there are significant resonances between Julian’s visions of salvation and Incarnation and the Orthodox Church’s doctrine of theosis.

While Anselm’s theory focuses on the need to repair the damage caused by sin as the reason for the Incarnation, Julian’s perspective centers on God’s desire to elevate and fulfill human nature through the Incarnation. Julian’s views resonates with the Orthodox’s concept of theosis.
