Faithful to its bimillennial tradition, the Orthodox Church adapts its message to the missionary realities of the moment, offering numerous remedies for the wounds of postmodernity inflicted upon the contemporary person. The emancipation of the world is not to be demonised, but reshaped, to be oriented toward the final destiny of transfiguration into the Eschaton of eternity. The healing of the soul from individualism and selfishness is done by cultivating humility and self-condemnation, indifferentism must be overcome through awakening and missionary volunteerism, and consumerism and the new hedonism must be channelled towards deeds of merciful love and responsibility regarding the protection of God's creation. Within this framework, this study proposes the Orthodox vision of theosis or deification, as a vital ontological paradigm to the postmodern crisis of meaning, providing a path toward the transfiguration of the human person.
