Walking in mirabilibus supra me: how C. S. Lewis transposes theosis.

Lewis's articulation of a doctrine of theosis is often asserted but has rarely been examined. This essay offers a survey of the way Lewis constructs and articulates theosis within his works of theology and fiction. This paper examines the way Lewis articulates a doctrine of theosis using the theme of Transposition. This discussion follows Lewis's articulation of the art of Transposition, through the concept of the 'grand miracle', to finally wrestle with the 'weight of glory' we currently experience. Applying the concept of 'Transposition' to Lewis's doctrine of theosis allows an investigation into possible ways in which a discussion of theosis may be extended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
