Chapter XII.
Theodorus,2591
presbyter of the church at Antioch,
a cautious investigator and clever of tongue, wrote against the
Apollinarians and Anomians On the incarnation of the Lord,
fifteen books containing as many as fifteen thousand verses, in which
he showed by the clearest reasoning and by the testimony of Scripture
that just as the Lord Jesus had a plenitude of deity, so he had a
plenitude of humanity. He taught also that man consists only of two
substances, soul and body and that sense and spirit are not different
substances, but inherent inborn faculties of the soul through which it
is inspired and has rationality and through which it makes the body
capable of feeling. Moreover the fourteenth book of this work treats
wholly of the uncreated and alone incorporeal and ruling nature of the
holy Trinity and of the rationality of animals which he explains in a
devotional spirit, on the authority of Holy Scriptures. In the
fifteenth volume he confirms and fortifies the whole body of his work
by citing the traditions of the fathers.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
