The Minor Prophets as Christian Scripture in the Commentaries of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria by Hauna T. Ondrey

Abstract

[...]Ondrey argues that these interpretations ascribe little christological content to Theodore's interpretation of Old Testament prophecy and too much to (7). [...]Ondrey concludes that range and extent of christological interpretation far surpasses Theodore (225). In light of this, Ondrey rightly concludes that it is inaccurate to identify Cyril's hermeneutic as strictly christological or christocentric, but she overstates her case when she says that for Cyril too Old Testament prophecy may be read profitably by Christians in its plain sense, without a prerequisite christological transformation (224).
