What are the central differences between Latin and Eastern theology? Is there are common thread of difference that gives rise to two different approaches to divinity, knowledge, revelation and eschatology? Yes, I argue. I discuss Augustine, Aquinas, absolute divine simplicity as borrowed from Aristotle and Plato, the Logos, the Greek triad, I Am as "pure being," Anselm, the analogia entis/chain of being, apophatic theology, theosis, created grace, divine energies, divine ideas, and the supposed 'beatific vision.'

1. Reminds me somewhat of Yannaras' work on Heidegger -- similar presuppositions, similar conclusions
2. Great dicussion and cleared up some pestering confusion.
3. This is without a doubt one of the best criticisms of western theology and how it leads to modern secular philosophy I've seen.
4. This is one of the most interesting videos I've found with your kind of thinking.  When you say that the west invented this idea of 'created grace', where exactly did you find this?
