Biblical scholars have often contrasted the exegesis of the early
church fathers from the eastern region and "school" of Syrian
Antioch against that of the school of Alexandria. The Antiochenes
have often been described as strictly historical-literal exegetes
in contrast to the allegorical exegesis of the Alexandrians.
Patristic scholars now challenge those stereotypes, some even
arguing that few differences existed between the two groups. This
work agrees that both schools were concerned with a literal and
spiritual reading. But, it also tries to show, through analysis of
Theodore and Theodoret's exegesis and use of the term theoria, that
how they integrated the literal-theological readings often remained
quite distinct from the Alexandrians. For the Antiochenes, the term
theoria did not mean allegory, but instead stood for a range of
perceptions-prophetic, christological, and contemporary. It is in
these insights that we find the deep wisdom to help modern readers
interpret Scripture theologically.
