Forensic theology

[Robert Hegwood]

I have often read that Orthodox theology refers to several salvic models when speaking on the nature of salvation, though it regards the theraputic/transformative model called theosis as the central one.

So what is the Orthodox take on/limitations concerning the forensic language of Scripture? How does it color or enlarge our understanding of salvation. Where/how does the forensic language of Scripture apply to the core model of theosis?

[Owen Jones]

This is my own opinion, not backed up by sources, but mercy, or divine atonement for sins is not salvation. It is the precondition of salvation.
