This work compares the Minor Prophets commentaries of Theodore of
Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria, isolating the role each
interpreter assigns the Twelve Prophets in their ministry to Old
Testament Israel and the texts of the Twelve as Christian
scripture. Hauna T. Ondrey argues that Theodore does acknowledge
christological prophecies, as distinct from both retrospective
accommodation and typology. A careful reading of Cyril's Commentary
on the Twelve limits the prospective christological revelation he
ascribes to the prophets and reveals the positive role he grants
the Mosaic law prior to Christ's advent. Exploring secondly the
Christian significance Theodore and Cyril assign to Israel's exile
and restoration reveals that Theodore's reading of the Twelve
Prophets, while not attempting to be christocentric, is
nevertheless self-consciously Christian. Cyril, unsurprisingly,
offers a robust Christian reading of the Twelve, yet this too must
be expanded by his focus on the church and concern to equip the
church through the ethical paideusis provided by the plain sense of
the prophetic text. Revised descriptions of each interpreter lead
to the claim that a recent tendency to distinguish the Old
Testament interpretation of Theodore (negatively) and Cyril
(positively) on the basis of their "christocentrism" obscures more
than it clarifies and polarizes no less than earlier accounts of
Antiochene/Alexandrian exegesis. The conclusion argues against
replacing old dichotomies with new and advocates rather for an
approach that takes seriously Theodore's positive account of the
unity and telos of the divine economy and the full range of Cyril's
interpretation.
