"Making Perfection" presents a new reading of the traditional Christian doctrine of deification, or the assimilation of creatures to God. This ultimate telos is defensible, it is argued, only as a certain poesis, a making of divinity within creation. But this in itself necessitates a register that configures matter, space, and temporality as intrinsic to the transcendent One---otherwise, all the making within non-divine being would remain its own telos, void of theosis altogether. An ontology of perfection would allow the divine itself to be active within the creaturely poesis, and thereby provide the structure for creaturely making to remake the world on a trajectory toward the transcendent perfection. Such an account of Christian perfection can be glimpsed in the ancient and Scholastic eras, especially with the Christianization of Neoplatonic theurgy, but its tenure as a central position of theology ended with Nicholas of Cusa. In the modern era it is in heterodox theo-ontologies, such as one finds in Schelling and Sergei Bulgakov, that theopoesis reappears, and thus this project turns to these in offering a contemporary account of perfection that is attuned to this displaced ontology.
