I recently had a discussion with an Eastern Orthodox priest on Hesychasm. The theology behind this practice made me think about the distinction between God’s essence and His energies, very important in Eastern Orthodox thought.
One of the most important eastern theologian that defended this concept is Gregory Palamas. In the 14th the hesychast controversy aroused, in which Gregory Palamas stood up for this practice and taught the distinction mentioned above.
Some say that it contradicts the western view of divine simplicity. What is the Reformed position in this controversy?
Blessings in Christ,
