4.0 out of 5 starsCommon Ground in Christ
By matt on July 26, 2007
Format: Paperback
At a time when Pentecostal Christianity is growing faster than any other Christian tradition worldwide, and when conversion rates to Eastern Orthodox Christianity in the United States are booming, this book comes to me as a welcome and highly relevant read indeed. Deification is a scary word for most western, especially Protestant Christians, but it need not be. It doesn't mean we are fourth and fifth persons of the Trinity, superhuman rulers of other worlds, etc. It is simply the logical outcome of applying the doctrine of the incarnation, death and resurrection of God in Christ to its maximal degree. Simply put, it is what St Paul meant by His phrase "in Christ".

Rybarczyk's personal upbringing sheds light on his interest in the subject. His dad was a Pentecostal minister and his mom was Orthodox, and he treats both positions with courtesy. No cheap shots here. While he acknowledges the differences, and doesn't try to gloss over them, his theme is to show the common ground as a basis for ecumenical dialogue.

Some notable points for me are: Orthodox root their anthropology in the Image of Christ in man, while the west roots it in the doctrine of the Fall. He asserts, over simplistically I believe, that the East emphasizes the victory of Christ over death as the locus of theology, with the West focusing upon the death of Jesus and the satisfaction of the wrath of God. What unites them, however, is the emphasis upon human agency, something Pentecostalism does not share with much the Protestant tradition. This, he says, is a result of the holiness movement rooted in Wesleyan theology (the main theological source of the movement).Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBecoming more like Christ
By Philip Kunde on May 24, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The essence of what I received from reading this delightful and thoughtful book is this: Eastern Orthodoxy focuses attention on growing in likeness to Christ ( ideas found in both Pentecostals and Orthodox Christians).

The Western Church stresses legalistic justification by way of God's grace and forgiveness of sin achieved through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Both Western and Eastern paradigms accept each other's views, but the stresses and practices of each is different. Rybarczyk gives wonderful detail, and much more of value, to these ideas.

Beyond Salvation is publication, as a book, of Rybarczyk's Ph.d thesis. Anyone wanting balanced view of Christianity in all it's glory and power would be foolish to overlook this book.

Great reference. Arrived before time and was as described. This resource was among many that I used to conduct my doctoral research on Spiritual Giftedness.
Thank you.
