Theodore and Cyril in Dialogue
View through CrossRef
This concluding chapter, “Theodore and Cyril in Dialogue: Analysis and Implications,” returns to charges surveyed in the Introduction, namely, that Theodore—and by extension Antiochene exegesis—failed to unify the Testaments due to his failure to find Christ in the Old Testament. Drawing on the revised descriptions of the preceding chapters, it challenges this analysis and its reading of Constantinople II. It further challenges the continued polarization of Theodore and Cyril’s Old Testament exegesis on the basis of “christocentrism” as an evaluative label for Theodore (negatively) and Cyril (positively) and advocates for a dynamic, developmental account of early Christian interpretation.
