Person
Theodore of Mopsuestia
about 350–428
Bishop of Mopsuestia
Attested. The career is secure. The justice of the posthumous condemnation is a confessional, not a historical, question.
Theodore was the outstanding Antiochene exegete of his generation, reading the Old Testament prophets in their own historical setting more than as direct predictions. He died in 428 in the peace of the church. After Ephesus and Chalcedon, critics blamed him for Nestorius. A later council in 553 condemned his memory. That was not a judgment of his lifetime.
