Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's entry on theiosis is written and edited in-house without an academic peer review process, the middle tier reflecting a professionally fact checked general reference rather than a specialist theological source. NotesA general reference encyclopedia with editorial staff and a long institutional record. Reliable for the doctrine's patristic grounding and its energies-essence distinction.
