Abstract

Abstract This chapter explores the Antiochene tradition inherited by Theodoret. Theodoret's immediate predecessors in this tradition were Diodore of Tarsus, who died c.390 after a vigorous struggle against the Arians and after justifying the humanity of Christ against Apollinaris, and Theodore of Mopsuestia. These were men whom Theodoret was to defend in 438 against Cyril as his own forerunners. Although it is unlikely that Theodore was Theodoret's personal instructor, his theology without any doubt took Theodore's as its starting-point.
