The soteriological notion of the&nbsp;<em>Aluk Todolo</em>&nbsp;[Way of the Ancestors] assumes that humans at first were divine beings and would eventually return [<em>membali</em>] to being divine,&nbsp;<em>puang</em>. I will situate&nbsp;<em>membali puang</em>&nbsp;in dialogue with the notion of&nbsp;<em>theōsis</em>&nbsp;from the tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy, as exemplified in the work of Vladimir Lossky. He argues that participation in Trinitarian life occurs only in the divine energy. Therefore, in an imaginative way, I propose that&nbsp;<em>membali puang</em>&nbsp;as&nbsp;<em>theōsis</em>&nbsp;enjoys a similar character of being participatory, communitarian, and eschatological.</p> ER -
