Mike Gorman, of Cross Talk, has recently produced an excellent new work on Pauline soteriology called Inhabiting the Cruciform God: Kenosis, Justification, and Theosis in Paul’s Narrative Soteriology (Eerdmans, 2009). In it he challenges traditional readings of Paul by exploring, among other things, co-crucifixion, theosis, and non-violence. For a three part summary over at his blog, see here: part 1, part 2, part 3.
Since one of his primary topics is theosis in Paul, this work should be of definite interest to readers of this blog. Mike’s graciously offered to do a blog interview with me that will come out over the next few weeks. If you have any burning questions, let me know and I’ll see if we can fit them into the interview.

Could you ask him how he thinks Paul`s understanding of participation in Christ relates to the Platonic and Aristotelian understandings of participation
