Theodore Abucara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodore Abucara (??–770 ) was a bishop of Caria province in Syria. In his anti-heretical dialogues he claimed frequently to reproduce the identical words of the great Eastern theologian, St. John of Damascus, whose disciple he was. St. John addressed to him three famous discourses in defence of the sacred images. There are attempts to identify him with a Bishop Theodore of Caria who attended the Fourth Council of Constantinople in 869.
