		According to Theodore the Logos assumed a complete manhood, which had to pass through the stages of ethical development just as in the case of any other human being.
		The attitude thus taken by Theodore is not surprising; he more nearly takes up the ground of the old church doctrine as set forth in the apologists and in the great Greek fathers of the 3rd and 4th centuries.
		Extracts from the writings of Theodore occur in the Catenar of Marius Mercator, in the Ada of the third and fifth oecumenical councils in Facundns, Liberatus, and Theodores chief adversary Leontius Byzantinus.

	HIGHLIGHTS IN THE DEBATE OVER THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA'S CHRISTOLOGY 1
		Although the author recognized some Nestorianizing tendencies in Theodore, he is on the whole satisfied with the Christology of both the condemned fragments and the Catechetical Orations as translated and printed by Mingana.
		The very basis for the condemnation of Theodore at the Fifth Council was the fact that under pressure from the "imperial couple" to adopt a diplomatic theology the Eastern bishops accepted Cyril's exclusiveness to the practical exclusion of Leo's Tome.
		The fact that Theodore considers Nathaniel's understanding obscure and carnal at this point does not mean that he elsewhere professes to believe that the natural Son of God became the natural Son of Mary, thus making it necessary for the compiler to deliberately distort and misrepresent the real mind of Theodore.

		But Theodore was to be placed by posterity, not by the side of Chrysostom, but of Nestorius and Theodoret.
		But the narrow horizon of Justinian and the ecclesiastics of the sixth century was not forever to bound the Church, and modern scholars would gladly exchange whole alcoves of the monkish lore of his late enemies for the works of this Antiochian exegete.

	Life and Writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia
		Around 383/6 he was ordained a priest of the Church of Antioch, and elevated to the position of bishop of Mopsuestia in Cilicia in 392 (perhaps at the instigation of Diodore, his old teacher and friend).
		It is clear that Theodore stresses the role of the human soul of Christ, in contradistinction to Apollinarius of Laodicea.
		The significance of Christ's free moral activity is continually put forward in his writings, wherein he often replaces the common phrase 'Word and flesh' (preferred of the Alexandrines before him, based on Jn 1.14) with 'Word and assumed man.' This is in harmony with a Diophysite position, brought to unfortunate extremes in Diodore and Nestorius.

		Theodore of Mopsuestia became the official exegete (mepasqana) of the Persian Church; Nestorius became the center of the controversy between the Monophysites and Dyophysites.
		Nestorius, born in Euphratesian Syria 31 years after Theodore of Mopsuestia (c.381), was destined to have his name permanently linked with the great mepasqana because of his Dyophysite pronouncements and the adoption by the faculties of Edessa and Nisibis of his and Theodore's polemics and commentaries.
		By selecting Theodore's writings as his preeminent textual source, Qiiore embarked upon a course of study that was to intermingle the deductive principles of Aristotle with Theodore's Dyophysite creed.

	History of Opinions on the Scriptural Doctrine of Retribution: Origen and Theodore of Mopsuestia
		In addition to this, the extension of the influence of Theodore among the Nestorian churches was peculiar to him, and was not at all shared by Origen.
		Theodore rejected almost entirely the spiritual, allegorical, and mystical interpretation of Origen; and, in common with the Antiochian school, adopted the principles of historical and grammatical interpretation.
		In the view of Theodore, therefore, this universal restitution of all to holiness was the end aimed at in the first dispensation, involving sin and to be effected through it.

		They have tried to lift the anathema on the said heretical Theodore by omitting some of the things which the holy fathers had written, by including certain confusing falsehoods of their own, and by quoting a letter of Cyril of blessed memory, as if all this were the evidence of the fathers.
		Consequently we anathematize the aforesaid three chapters, that is, the heretical Theodore of Mopsuestia along with his detestable writings, and the heretical writings of Theodoret, and the heretical letter which Ibas is alleged to have written.
		Furthermore this heretical Theodore claimed that the union of God the Word to Christ is rather like that which, according to the teaching of the Apostle, is between a man and his wife: The two shall become one.

		Theodore resembled Judah HaNasi, the great compiler of the Jewish Oral Law (the Mishnah) at the end of the second century.
		Theodore collected and organized earlier theological and exegetical scholarship; he brought forth a synthesis in his writings that was unsurpassed by any of the succeeding generations of Christian theologians.
		Thus inspired by the manifold contributions of his faculty and guided by the Dyophysite commentaries of Theodore of Mopsuestia as well as his own talents as the School's administrator and mepasqana, Abraham presided over a school tradition that was unmatched in the contemporary Mesopotamian cultural world.

	Nestorian Theology
		Theodore, the father of Antiochene theology, taught two clearly defined natures of Christ: the assumed Man, perfect and complete in his humanity, and the Logos, consubstantial with the Father, perfect and complete in his divinity, the two natures (physis) being united by God in one person (prosopon).
		Theodore maintained that the unity of human and divine in Jesus did not produce a "mixture" of two persons, but an equality in which each was left whole and intact.
		Diodore and Theodore were considered orthodox during their lifetime, but came under suspicion during the Christological controversies of the fifth century.

		Theodore of Mopsuestia was hailed in his lifetime as one of the outstanding theologians and bishops in the second half of the fourth and early fifth centuries.
		He then draws out the typology that Theodore sees present between Adam and Christ’s humanity, exploring three major roles that Christ’s humanity plays as the head of all human immortal existence, the bond of the universe, and the perfect image of God.
		The book concludes by applying these insights to the 71 excerpts that were used to condemn Theodore at the Second Council of Constantinople and proposing that these passages can be interpreted in a different, non-heretical way.

		There are people who take great pains to twist the sense of the divine scriptures," wrote the fourth-century biblical scholar, Theodore of Mopsuestia, a prominent voice of the exegetical school centered at Antioch, "and make everything written therein serve their own ends.
		Theodore also emphasized to perhaps an unfortunate degree the humanity of Christ in his writings.
		One of his students, Nestorius, held that Christ had "two natures which are adored in the one person of the only-begotten by a perfect and unconfused conjunction." But Nestorius was later condemned by the Council of Ephesus (431) for dividing Christ's person into two, and Emperor Theodosius II branded him as a heretic.
