Dr. Alexander Kalomiros was a medical doctor and Greek Old Calendarist. He is famous for writing against ecumenism, and (in)famous as a theistic evolutionist in whose eschatology God punishes nobody, but rather pours out the same Grace on both the sinners and the righteous, who experience it in a positive or negative way depending on their disposition.[1] He schismed from the Greek Old Calendarists over the portrayal of God the Father in the icon of the Trinity, which he claimed is heretical to venerate or tolerate[2]

The River of Fire has had a major impact among those professing to be Orthodox—including the World Orthodox.

Dr. Kalomiros exchanged a short series of letters debating evolution with Fr. Seraphim Rose in 1973-1976 before breaking off communication. This debate is a major theme in the book Genesis, Creation and Early Man by Fr. Seraphim.
