Empiricism, strictly speaking, is the belief that all knowledge is based on experience, and that only things
which can be established by means of scientific observation can be known with certainty.

In fact a recent three volume systematic theology, by Thomas Oden, is based on the premise that the
"ecumenical consensus" of the first millennium should be normative for theology [see, The Living God:
Systematic Theology Volume One, (New York: Harper & Row, 1987), pp ix xiv.]. If only Oden takes his own
methodology all the way, he too will become Orthodox.
