The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the history and development of the idea of deification in Christianity, while the second part delves into the practical aspects of living a deified life.Underhill argues that deification is not only possible but also necessary for spiritual growth and fulfillment. She draws on the teachings of various Christian mystics and theologians, as well as other religious traditions, to support her argument. The book also includes personal anecdotes and reflections from Underhill's own spiritual journey.The Deified Life is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in spirituality and the pursuit of a deeper connection with the divine.
