Plucking the TULIP (2) – An Eastern Orthodox Critique of the Reformed Doctrine of Predestination

In this posting I will be critiquing TULIP as an overall theological system first by discussing how TULIP developed from Augustine’s theology.

St. Gregory Palamas and the Tradition of the Fathers

Archpriest George Florovsky

Indeed, the Church always stresses the permanence of her faith through the ages, from the very beginning. This identity, since the Apostolic times, is the most conspicuous sign and token of right faith-always the same. Yet, "antiquity" by itself is not an adequate proof of the true faith.

The Icon of the Kingdom

Since we do it every year‚ it became so engrained in our fiber that we rarely stop to ponder about what does it really mean to us. It is important to know‚ after all‚ what we celebrate; otherwise it makes no sense to go on with a party that we know nothing about.

The Goal of History is the Birth of the Christ

Fr. Ted Bobosh

“The entire month of December had taken on the character of a forefeast for Christmas.
