Did you guys know Richard Swinburne is a convert to Eastern Orthodoxy (late in life)? I was talking to an Orthodox friend about it (in the context of open theism and EO). He said the EO didn't have a problem with Swinburne's view on divine foreknowledge (he's an open theist); well, they didn't require him to recant to abandon his views.

Hmmmm.

Interesting. Does EO dogma include a relatively explicit claim about absolute, divine foreknowledge?

Not that I know of Jeff. The only thing that'll get you booted is flagrant betrayal of the Creeds, and there's nothing in the Creeds about EDF. But all the Fathers believed in EDF and employed it to explain things.

So Bruce would not oppose it dogmatically, then. So Bruce, come on in--the water is fine!
