| Summary: | Theodoret's Christology is not easy to pin down. Quite a number of his contemporaries supposed he shared Nestorius’ views (which to some extent he did) and believed in two Sons (which neither he nor Nestorius did). Half a millennium later, intelligent readers found it difficult to distinguish his Christology from Cyril's. The deacon Stylianus, copying in 932 the manuscript (belonging to Archbishop Arethas) of Cyril's controversy with Theodoret over the Twelve Chapters, wrote the marginal note: ‘To speak candidly, they attack each other erroneously saying the same thing about the same thing and working themselves up into a disagreement like people differing over a number if one says so many units are “eleven” and the other “ten and one”’ (A.C.O. I.1.6, p. 114). Paul B. Clayton, Jr. |
