Abstract
Since the terminology of “deification” is virtually absent from the New Testament, readers must look for associated ideas: seeing God, participating in God’s life, sharing God’s characteristics, and exhibiting divine glory. Glimpses of these are found in Mark, more in Luke-Acts, with its Ascension, and a considerable number in the gospel of Matthew, where the faithful are promised that they will “shine like the sun.” Further, the concept is given a strong foundation in the Johannine literature—the gospel, the epistles, and Revelation. In the last book of the New Testament, the holy city of Jerusalem possesses the glory of God. Rather than a mere return to the garden of the first couple, the end of Revelation shows that God’s very life is imparted to humanity in the union of the Bridegroom and the Bride.
