How is this different from what Pope Francis did in his last encylical letter? Metropolitan Hilarion probably acknowledges that the Christological meaning is primary, and the moral meaning is first determined by that. Also, Metropolitan Hilarion does not use the parable to lay out a simplistic moral theology regarding immigration, refugees, etc.

Une #statue aux deux visages... 😮
On a longtemps vu dans cette sculpture une représentation de l’empereur Julien l’Apostat. Et pourtant... Des recherches récentes remettent en cause cette interprétation.
Quelques explications s’imposent 😉 👇#Museum30 #CultureChezNous pic.twitter.com/cI04XHD12J

What We Would Call Dialectic

The front matter of my book 'The Dialogical Roots of Deduction' is already available online! It includes the ToC and the Preface, which offers a summary of the book as well as the acknowledgments (which is what everyone reads first anyway...).https://t.co/QyssckpzdK

But Very Western in Its Theology?

And "derivative" or scholastic, rather than being scriptural in language? Our armour of light is Christ, given to us through the Holy Spirit.
