Theodore of Mopsuestia was a prominent Christian theologian and biblical scholar from the 4th century. He was born around 350 AD in Mopsuestia, a city in modern-day Turkey. Theodore is best known for his commentaries on the Bible, particularly his interpretations of the Old Testament and New Testament. His work emphasized the literal meaning of the scriptures and sought to clarify theological concepts. As a member of the School of Antioch, Theodore played a significant role in the development of early Christian thought. He was influential in the debates surrounding the nature of Christ, contributing to the discussions that would later shape the Chalcedonian Definition. Despite facing criticism, his writings laid the groundwork for future theological exploration.
