Theodore of Mopsuestia
View through CrossRef
Chapter 2, “Theodore of Mopsuestia: The Twelve within the First Age,” identifies the primary role Theodore assigns the Twelve Prophets in their ministry to Old Testament Israel as predicting future events in order to demonstrate God’s care, sovereignty, and providential oversight of Israel’s history. He additionally emphasizes the prophets’ revelatory role in educating Israel of the one creator God and his attributes. Consistent with his Commentary on John and catechetical homilies, Theodore is insistent that none of the Trinitarian hypostases was revealed prior to Christ’s Trinitarian command at Matthew 28. However, Theodore does identify some prophecies as having their literal fulfilment in the New Testament, distinct from both types and retrospective accommodation. Yet even as this reinstates christological prophecy within Theodore’s Old Testament exegesis, it exposes his problematic Christology, as he clearly separates the son of David from the Son of God.
