We return to Defense of the Orthodox Faith, Book III to demonstrate the obvious teaching of St. John the essence-energy distinction directly impacts Christology, which directly impacts sacramentology and the doctrine of deification (as opposed to created grace in Rome).

We will also touch in the lack of any gnomic will in Christ and how this relates to proper anthropology and the doctrine of grace.
