Thanks for that assessment. I am going to be out for awhile but I will try to write a response when I return.

...and the links in the original post aren't working...

Right you are. Here is a link to an archived version of the essay in question: The Problem with Deification.

Having read it now, I have to say that my critique stands -- what he's talking about is not what the Orthodox doctrine is, and indeed what he's talking about is a poor match for Paul and Luther. In fact if anything he's wandering into the territory of cheap grace.
