Explore ancient and modern manifestations of deification with Becoming Divine: An Introduction to Deification in Western Culture. From the ancient pharaohs to modern transhumanists, people have sought divinity. They include megalomaniacs, mystics, sages, apostles, prophets, magicians, bishops, philosophers, atheists, and monks. Some aim for independent deity, others seek eternal union with God. Some anticipate godhood in heaven, others sought to walk as gods on earth. M. David Litwa identifies and analyzes some common themes in deification philosophies, including immortality, superhuman power, and supernatural knowledge or love, and how they inform how we view deification today.
