There is no mention here of Theodore's commentary on John. An English translation of fairly substantial Greek fragments was published early in 2004. It is interesting for two reasons: (1) it seems clearly orthodox; (2) the contrast with the Syriac version is fairly serious: it suggests that the attacks on him may have been at least partly due to using inaccurate translations. I believe the article on the Three Chapters needs at least a reference to the continuing concerns about the accuracy of the summaries used as the basis for Theodore's condemnation. This recent publication seems to cast even more doubt on the condemnation. --hedrick@rutgers.edu
There is a problem with having material from sources almost a hundred years old, as much work has been done on Syriac texts involving Theodore,e. g. the Tonneau and Devreese edition of his baptismal catecheses in 1949.The presence of older material fills a gap, but poses problems of style for those wishing to complement it. These remarks hold a fortiori for the extensive use of Philip Schall in other patristic contributions. Recent research (Nina Garsoian and others) points to an influence of Theodore in early Christian Armenia,creating the circumstances which led to Proclus' Tome to the Armenians- ---Clive Sweeting
