"A Letter that Killeth": Toward a Reassessment of Antiochene Exegesis, or Diodore, Theodore, and Theodoret on the Psalms

Abstract: The condemnation of Theodore of Mopsuestia and the subsequent consignment of his writings to historical obscurity is usually explained primarily as a rejection of Antiochene Christology. Ancient sources close to the matter, however, suggest that the problem was not so simple and that the resistance to Antiochene ideas extended to exegetical practices as well. Although usually cast by modern scholars in the role of misunderstood victim, it seems that, upon close examination, ancient authors had justifiable reasons to resist the Antiochene project. The exegesis of Diodore of Tarsus, Theodore of Mopsuestia, and, to some extent, Theodoret of Cyrus was methodologically restrictive and theologically weak. It tended to sever the linkages uniting the Old with the New and weakened the ability of the Bible to function as a Christian text. Rather than seeing Antiochene exegesis as a forward-looking project that was suppressed, we should consider it instead to be a backward-looking project that failed.

The book of Genesis in Jewish and Oriental Christian interpretation : a collection of essays

Abstract: This volume consists of sixteen essays, most of which are revised versions of papers read at a symposium held in May 1995 in Jerusalem at the Hebrew University and the Institute for Advanced Studies. Students of various religious and cultural traditions present their research in Jewish and Christian biblical interpretation. Fields covered include the Second Temple Period (Dead Sea Scrolls and the Life of Adam and Eve), Rabbinic literature, Early Greek and Syriac Antiochene exegesis, Syriac literature, Armenian reflections of Greek and Syriac exegesis (esp. the Armenian translations and reworkings of Eusebius of Emesa, Ephrem the Syrian and Jacob of Edessa), Ethiopic commentary tradition. Particular attention is devoted to the interrelationship between various traditions, e.g. Jewish and Christian, Greek and Syriac, Syriac and Armenian. The volume gives some telescoped insight into the cultural complexity of the Near East in Late Antiquity, where dynamic processes of cultural and religious interaction were continuously at work.
