Thanks, Alex. A long and complex read which deserves more time than I have given it thusfar. But I am thankful for this piece at this point only insofar as it points up again the difference between the Eastern and Western "understandings" of the nature of our Triune God, sin and the relationship between God and man. Frankly it reads like something out of the Corpus Iuris. I'll read it more carefully later.
It is not the liveliest of reads. Once we chew this one down, I have something far more exciting planned. The Encyclopedia article is necessary background because it defines the terms the meaning of which has meen nearly lost by (expletive redacted) modernity.
