What is the Eastern Orthodox's Stance of St. Augustine?

We returned to listening to the 2018 interview by Leighton Flower of Ken Wilson with unexpected comments on the EO church.

I am Orthodox and I love and venerate St Augustine. I don’t think he’s perfect, but Confessions is the single greatest Christian literary work outside of the Holy Scriptures, in my opinion

[ThruTheUnknown]

The eastern orthodox dont hold Augustine in very high regard. Pick up a book by John Trenham like Rock and Sand and you'll see how they bemoan how the west adopted too much of the AAA theology (Augustine, Anslem and Aquinas).

They may regard him as a church saint and an icon, but hes definitely one of the wests teachers as far as they are concerned.

[TruthBucket]

Lol the smugness of thinking he found the smoking gun.

[LoftOfTheUniverse]

"He's wrong" well I guess that showed him who can argue with that.

[JaffarDS]

Orthodox are not Roman Catholic. We don't place our faith in one church father.

St. Augustine, pray for us.

I don’t understand Eastern Orthodox theology no matter how hard I try. Is it the black hole of religion????

[mkbr]

Eastern Orthodoxy is uncomfortable with Augustine because they have more in common with Pelagius, even going so far as to deny Original Sin.

[reformedcatholic]

Ken Wilson proven wrong yet again and it's not hard. Augustine is called "Blessed" in the eastern church.

Ken claims the east didn't recognize Augustine as a Church father, James proceeds to quote the 5th ecumenical council to prove that wrong.

Amen.

Imagine if Ken who is criticised as being unscholarly did what white is doing in his book, I'm right because I have a friend who knows a friend who is orthodox who says so 🤣. White would never let ken hear end of it!

You guys are so badly being deceived by white, it's unbelievable 😳

[hymnsake]

James White attempts to destroy Ken Wilson's argument by a thousand technicalities. Let me know when he actually reads and critique the thesis and citations
