Interpretation of the views of Theodore of Mopsuestia in the letter of representatives of the Armenian Church to Proclus, patriarch of Constantinople

Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

This article examines the interpretation of the views of a prominent theologian of the Antioch school – Theodore of Mopsuestia(350-428) in the correspondence of Proclus, the patriarch of Constantinople (434-446) with the representatives of the Armenian church. After the events of the Third Ecumenical Council (431 В.С.) and the condemnation of the Nestorius’s works, a considerable part of his supporters began to refer to the works of the highly esteemed Theodore, who was considered the teacher of Nestorius. This circumstance gave rise to an attempt to revise the attitude towards the deceased bishop. The conflict around the legacy of Theodore began in Syria, and then spread to the territory of Armenia. The correspondence between Proclus and the Armenians reflects the specific relationship of the Byzantine Christian Church with neighboring churches, as well as the peculiarities of the policy of the highest hierarchs of the Armenian Church in conditions when their country was divided between Persia and the Eastern Roman Empire.
