Artificial intelligence and biotechnology are raising afresh questions about what it means to be human and divine. The Oxford Handbook of Deification has arrived on the scene as its subject matter has splashed out of theological discourse into the popular imagination. What Christian theology would recognize as deification is now a talking point on podcasts, a central theme in film and television and an agenda item for government cabinet meetings. This essay celebrates the Handbook's publication by comparing the technological anthropology of our day with early Christian theological anthropology. The forces of ‘accelerationism’ and ‘techno-fatalism’ are pressuring uncritical adoption of technological advancements, shaping how we think of both humanity and divinity. Yet early Christian teaching offers a corrective that is realistic about the ‘human condition’ while remaining hopeful of a transformation enacted by the transcendent powers beyond the self, and outside the timeline of modernity's narrative of ‘progress’.","PeriodicalId":43284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Systematic Theology","volume":"28 3","pages":"299-317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijst.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148373630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article begins by exploring Calvin’s use of the two states and argues that his treatment of Christ’s descent into hell is an important though understudied example of his broad approach to the two states, an integrative view of Christ’s exaltation in humiliation. An overview of the status duplex in subsequent Reformed orthodox thought is then provided, including Zacharias Ursinus’s commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism, the Leiden Synopsis, and the Westminster Larger Catechism. Finally, this article shows how Bavinck’s history, theology and defense of the two states retrieves some of Calvin’s emphases, and yet, despite Bavinck's positioning of himself within a Reformed unanimity, largely favors the later Reformed orthodox position and does not note where Calvin and these later thinkers disagree. While both Calvin and Bavinck favor a view of unity and simultaneous distinction in the relationship between humiliation and exaltation, for Bavinck, the distinction is preeminent, while for Calvin, the unity is.","PeriodicalId":43284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Systematic Theology","volume":"28 3","pages":"219-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijst.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148373405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
