The Mesopotamian School & Theodore of Mopsuestia
by Fr. Andrew Younan of St. Peter Diocese for Chaldeans & Assyrians

Description:
Two theses are presented in this book. First, that there is an overarching “School of Thought” in Mesopotamia, consistent in its basic tenets, from ancient times to the late middle ages, and that this “Mesopotamian School” is fundamentally realistic as opposed to idealistic. Second, that the Christology of Theodore of Mopsuestia, as read as an expression of this School, is orthodox by the Chalcedonian standard. Included in the Appendices are complete translations of Mar Narsai’s 16th and 35th Metrical Sermons, on human nature and the Trinity, respectively, as well as of his “Dialogue Between the Watcher & Mary.”

Even though the Fifth Ecum condemned Theodore of Mopsuestia, this is certainly worth considering, especially since the Council of Chalcedon specifically exonerated him.

Yup, Fr. Andy actually wrote his dissertation on this matter.

Chaldean Rite,

He finally published this book, I was wondering when he’d ever do it. 🙂

I just purchased a copy. I do have his paper stashed away or laying around somewhere in the house, but a book format is much easier to navigate through.

I’m excited that we’re putting out more and more books in English. I also just purchased Spiritual Treasures from the Chaldean Tradition by Karmo.

God bless,

Rony
