We must be talking past one another. There is nothing strange or unOrthodox about a dialog style, whether with a real or a fictitious interlocutor. You've lost me.
In 7 I asked “the separation of faith and reason, to the point of taking the point of view of the infidels [— is] this in itself already foreign to the Orthodox?”
You responded “Yes” in 8. I am trying to understand what exactly is foreign since the dialog method evidently is not.
