In the western church soteriology has mostly focused on the cross and thus the Lamb of God and tends to be positional and judicial. In the Eastern Orthodox tradition the emphasis is on theosis or subjective and experiencial transformation. They are both equally important to a comprehensive understanding of soteriology.

I admire Lee for looking into the EO and bringing its emphasis to the attention of those unfamiliar with the matter of theosis. That he had to use such arrogance in the process unfortunately takes away from the good he had to offer.
