		As an exegete Theodoret belongs to the Antiochene school, of which Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia were the heads.
		Theodorets chief importance is as a dogmatic theologian, it having fallen to his lot to take part in the Nestorian controversy and to be the most considerable opponent of the views of Cyril and Dioscurus of Alexandria.
		Some of Theodorets dogmatic works are no longer extant: of his five books fl~p~ ~Pa~Opw7rilaec,is, for example, directed against Cyril after the council of Ephesus, we now possess fragments merely.

	THE EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE PRIMERS
		But Theodoret is known to the world not so much as Bishop of Cyrus, or as a great preacher, as by the commentaries which he wrote, and for the part which he took, by voice and pen, in the Nestorian controversy.
		Theodoret was the man for the emergency, and, stepping to the front, he became, above patriarch and metropolitans, the real leader of the Oriental bishops in their opposition to the Egyptians.
		Dupin says of Theodoret's letters that they all discover a great deal of piety, charity, and humility, and of the private letters that they have all the qualifications which render letters valuable, for they are short, plain, neat, elegant, civil, pleasant, full of matter, wit, and holiness.

		Urbainczyk suggests that Theodoret's work must be understood as an apology, within the context of the theological disputes of the fifth century, for both the author himself and the holy men of Syria.
		Theodoret's Antiochene background, especially his education and the question of his first language, is addressed, as are his role as bishop of Cyrrhus and the events surrounding the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon.
		Granted she is interested in Theodoret as a writer more than she is in the details of early Syrian asceticism, but incorporating these sources into the study would perhaps serve as a control for examining what Theodoret does in his work when he "Hellenizes" local Semitic material.

	Saint Maron
		Theodoret never knew Maron personally, but only through the disciples of this holy man. He described Maron as "the one who has planted for God the garden which flourishes now in the region of Cyrrhus." Little is known of the birth or youth of Maron because Theodoret was unconcerned about that aspect of his life.
		Theodoret informs us that the inhabitants of the nearest and largest village came in great numbers, took possession of the body, and built over it a magnificent church.
		Theodoret tells us that the relics of Maron are venerated with great public solemnity in his day and are the occasion of many miracles.

	James of Cyrrhestica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the first twenty chapters of the Historia Religiosa, Theodoret presents "athletes of Christ" in the ascetical life, who have already completed their contests of struggle against the passions that are afflicting human nature in the arena of desires and needs of body and soul.
		Theodoret himself is aware of the striking coincidence that both sections of his Historia Religiosa (chapters 1-20, and 21-30) start with an ascetic whose first name is James: James of Nisibis (chapter 1) and James of Cyrrhestica (chapter 21).
		Theodoret of Cyrrhus, in his Ecclesiastical History (Parmentier 1954: 331), reports that Chrysostom had exhorted the bishop of Cyrrhus "to expel the disease" and Chrysostom was "offering assistance from the imperial laws" for such an undertaking.

		This volume begins with Theodoret, the bishop of Cyprus' "Ecclesiastical History" which, much like the church histories of his younger contemporaries Socrates and Sozomen, opens during the rise of Arianism under the emperor Constantius and closes abruptly at the death of Theodore of Mopsuestia in AD 429.
		Theodoret's history appears to have been written in order to fill the gaps and correct the errors where Socrates and Sozomen's efforts proved insufficient; he adds more original documents and decrees than them, but seems to care less for chronological accuracy.
		Of Theodoret's works his "Dialogues and Letters" are preserved here as well, and they are possibly more important than his church history for the fact that they provide significant knowledge on key persons and surface much information about the Bishop of Cyprus himself.

		This was brought home to Theodoret when, after the turmoil of the great cities and their synods, he felt himself constrained from very weariness to turn his face back again to dull, uninteresting Cyrrhus and its unintellectual people.
		Theodoret anathematized Cyril, and was anathematized and deposed by Dioscorus.
		Theodoret, on his part, felt he had defended Nestorius too long; twenty years had passed since he refused to anathematize him; but now, as considering him to have died in obstinate heresy, he no longer persisted in his refusal.

		It is important to note that Theodoret's profession of the faith of Cyril and the Third Ecumenical Council at session VIII of the Council of Chalcedon was accompanied by much hesitation on his part and Episcopal cries of " Nestorian" against him.
		Theodoret was a heretic before Leo got involved with him and he remained a heretic all the time that he was being supported by Leo.

		Urbainczyk argues that the intimate details of Theodoret's life were not let slip accidentally but were inserted deliberately to buttress his own threatened position and to show how these independent men of God deferred to no one but himself.

		Theodoret’s chief instructor in Theology was the great light of the school of Antioch, Theodorus, known from the name of the see to which he was appointed in 392, “Mopsuestia,” or “the hearth of Mopsus,” in Cilicia Secunda.
		Theodoret’s failure to apprehend Cyril’s drift was no doubt due less to any want of intelligence on the part of the Syrian than to the overbearing bitterness of the fierce Egyptian.
		Theodoret was sentenced not merely to deposition from his see but to degradation from the priesthood and to excommunication, and his books were ordered to be burnt.

	Symeon Stylites
		Theodoret’s account of Saint Symeon is of the greatest importance, since he was personally acquainted with him and had visited him at his pillar a number of times.
		He describes vividly an occasion when, after the saint had told the crowds to ask for Theodoret’s blessing, he was mobbed by the enthusiastic pilgrims and only escaped being smothered by the saint’s shouting to them to stand back.
		Theodoret only speaks of Symeon’s having prophesied a drought, but the Syriac life recounts his having ended one through his prayers.

		That Theodoret produced a full commentary on the book, however, demonstrates that he was by no means affronted either by the book's content or by the allegorical approach of his great Alexandrian predecessor.
		Setting himself the aim of "bringing obscurity to clarity", Theodoret typically acknowledges his debt to previous commentators, and thus brings Origen to the attention of readers in Antioch.
