    Paul's letters to the Galatians, Ephesians, and Philippians have struck an indelible impression on Christian tradition and piety. The doctrines of Christ, of salvation, and of the church all owe their profiles to these letters.

    The doctrine of deification or theosis has been gaining interest among scholars for some time.
