	Theophilus of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theophilus regards the Sibylline books as authentic and inspired productions, quoting them largely as declaring the same truths with the prophets.
		The omission by the Greeks of all mention of the Old Testament from which they draw all their wisdom, is ascribed to a self-chosen blindness in refusing to recognize the only God and in persecuting the followers of the only fountain of truth (iii.

	Antioch
		Here the Orontes breaks through the mountains, and Antioch was placed at a bend of the river, 16.5 miles from the Mediterranean, partly on an island, partly on the levee which forms the left bank, and partly on the steep and craggy ascent of Mount Silpius, which rose abruptly on the south.
		The road between Antioch and Daphne - a distance of five miles - was bordered by parks, fountains, villas and splendid structures appropriate to the gay procession that thronged from the city gate to the scene of consecrated pleasure.
		Antioch's living link with the past consists in that there is still a Christian community in the city where members of the new sect were first called Christians.

	Theophilus
		However, Theophilus was most definitely not advocating the theological idea of a three in one God but using the term in a way in which all would agree.
		For Theophilus, God's Word is that which is born out of His Wisdom and was in His bosom until he uttered that Word and creation came to be.
		Theophilus teaches a common teaching of the early church which is alluded to in the Gospel of John.

	Theophilus of Antioch (Later 2nd Century)
		Such are his disagreements with the teachings of pagan myths and philosophies concerning the creation of the world that he feels it necessary to set down his own exposition of the text of Genesis.
		Norris, 895, argues that “Theophilus has a command of rhetoric and a knowledge of Greek philosophy that went beyond cursory handbook reference", while Grant, 149, writes that "in his apology he frequently refers to such authors, though his citations from almost all come from anthologies of poetry and philosophical opinions.

	Antiochene Theology, Theodoret
		Theophilus of Antioch, in the latter part of the second century, developed the Logos doctrine, referring to the logos prophorikos brought forth to create.
		While it is possible for Paul to speak of one prosopon of God and the Logos, and to use the term homoousios of Christ and the Father, yet the Logos and the Son were not by any means identical.
		Justinian's Edict of the Three Chapters in 543 was unfair to the School of Antioch in its condemnations of the writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia and of Theodoret.

		[Citations of the Gospels] [Theophilus of Antioch] [Athenagoras] [Epistle to Diognetus] [Pause for Explanations] [Tatian] [Justin Martyr] [Minucius Felix] [Ignatius and the Epistle of Barnabas]
		Theophilus' explanation offers no contradiction to this; it offers an explanation of why Christians call themselves Christians, and, in a perfectly understandable twist of human psychology, turns the insult around, arguing that nothing can be serviceable or beautiful unless it is first "anointed" (christened) in some manner.
		Theophilus is STILL defending the Genesis account - and he is referring at this point to the expulsion from paradise, for the purpose of establishing the dichotomy that disobedience equals death, whereas obedience equals life.

	Theophilus of Antioch (Roberts-Donaldson information)
		Theophilus comes down to us only as an apologist intimately allied in spirit to Justin and Irenaeus; and he should have been placed with Tatian between these two, in our series, had not the inexorable laws of our compilation brought them into this volume.
		We also learn from the same writer, that Theophilus succeeded to the bishopric of Antioch in the eighth year of the reign of Marcus Aurelius, that is, in a.d.
		Theophilus is said by Eusebius, Jerome, and others, to have written several works against the heresies which prevailed in his day.

	Newman Reader - Arians of the 4th Century - Chapter 1-3
		We have already seen, however, that Arius was educated at Antioch; and we shall see hereafter that, so far from being favourably heard at Alexandria, he was, on the first promulgation of his heresy, expelled the Church in that city, and obliged to seek refuge among his Collucianists of Syria.
		Thus Origen, when a youth, could not be induced to attend the prayers of a heretic of Antioch whom his patroness had adopted, from a loathing [Note 41], as he says, of heresy.
		And St. Austin himself tells us, that while he was a Manichee, his own mother would not eat at the same table with him in her house, from her strong aversion to the blasphemies which were the characteristic of his sect [Note 42].

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Theophilus
		Eusebius in his "Chronicle" places the name of Theophilus against that of Pope Soter (169-77), and that of Maximinus, Theophilus's successor, against the name of Eleutherus (177-93).
		Lightfoot and Hort showed that Eusebius, having no such precise chronological data for the bishops of Antioch as he had for those of Rome and Alexandria, placed the names of the Antiochene bishops against those of contemporary Roman bishops (Lightfoot, "St. Ignatius", etc., II, 468 sq., and St. Clement", etc., I, 224 sqq.).
		When therefore we find in the third book of Theophilus, "Ad Autolychum", that the writer was alive after the death (180) of Marcus Aurelius, it does not follow, as even writers like Harnack and Bardenhewer suppose, that Eusebius made a chronological blunder.

		3 And that Theophilus also, with the others, contended against them, is manifest from a certain discourse of no common merit written by him against Marcion.(195) This work too, with the others of which we have spoken, has been preserved to the present day.
		Maximinus,(196) the seventh from the apostles, succeeded him as bishop of the church of Antioch.
		Theophilus, the successor of Eros we have reason to think became bishop about the middle of Marcus Aurelius' reign and hence the Chron., which puts his accession into the ninth year of that reign, (169 a.d.) cannot be far out of the way.

	Gospel of Luke
		Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
		Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
		Hopeful Christians sometimes point to this self-validating comment by the Lukan author as proof that the stories in Luke must be true because the narrator said he "carefully investigated" the stories that were handed down to him, but he does not say how this investigation was undertaken.

		There were those who felt so strongly about dying in the struggle against the forces of evil that they, perhaps unconsciously, went out of their way to provoke authorities that might be able to assist them.

		Theophilus was converted from heathenism by the study of the Scriptures, and occupied the episcopal see at Antioch, the sixth from the Apostles, during the later part of the reign of Marcus Aurelius.
		Theophilus describes the Christians as having a sound mind, practising self-restraint, preserving marriage with one, keeping chastity, expelling injustice, rooting out sin, carrying out righteousness as a habit, regulating their conduct by law, being ruled by truth, preserving grace and peace, and obeying God as king.
		Jerome is the only ancient writer who mentions a Commentary or Commentaries of Theophilus on the Gospel, but adds that they are inferior to his other books in elegance and style; thereby indicating a doubt as to their genuineness.

		He was born in Antioch, Syria sometime between 344-354, the date being uncertain despite the large number of biographical sketches of his life.
		He spent years as a hermit (monk) outside of Antioch living under the most primitive conditions of deprivation for the sake of the Kingdom (surviving on bread and water) because of the immorality of the cities, but had to return to society due to severe problems with his gastro-intestinal and kidney functions.
		Subsequently, Theophilus, called together a synod of 36 bishops (mostly from Egypt) who condemned John on 29 charges (including the false charge of treason) and declared him deposed after he refused to appear before them.

		In order to achieve this goal, a number of them (notably Justin, Tatian, Athenagoras, and Theophilus of Antioch) drew comparisons between doctrines of the Greek philosophical tradition and those of Christianity, usually demonstrating the uniqueness and superiority of the latter.
		They thus unwittingly preserved for us doxographical data concerning Greek philosophers, some of which is to be found nowhere else.
		Theophilus of Antioch is a good case in point.

		I'll summarize what the things Theophilus and his contemporaries did and didn't believe in relation to the later doctrine of the Trinity.
		Theophilus' use of the word "trias" probably wasn't anything earth-shattering.
		Early writers like Theophilus and Tertullian wanted to keep Christ in the "God" category, so they postulated their theories about God generating the Son and Spirit out of some portion of Himself, rather than out of nothing.

		We do not know who initiated the term Trinity, but Theophilus of Antioch in 180 AD is recorded as using this term.
		Critics of this doctrine will point to its genesis in the Nicene (325 AD) and Athanasius Creed (400-545 AD date uncertain), which they believe were the result of political maneuvering and expediency.

		After identifying the beginnings of Christian Apologetics with Paul, Grant devotes a chapter to each of the four Emperors-Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius-and focuses effectively on the judicial and philosophical perspectives that shaped their perceptions and treatment of Christians.
		In the concluding four chapters, Grant chronicles the influence of the Greek Apologists on subsequent generations, from such immediate successors as Clement, Irenaeus, and Origen to the ninth century Photius as well as the sixteenth century Reformers.
