Theodore of Studium: His Life and Times is a comprehensive biography of Theodore the Studite, a prominent monk and theologian in the Byzantine Empire during the 9th century. Written by Alice Gardner, this book provides readers with an in-depth look at Theodore's life, teachings, and impact on the Eastern Orthodox Church.The book begins with a brief overview of Theodore's early life and education, including his time studying under his uncle, Plato of Sakkoudion. It then delves into his career as a monk, including his leadership of the Studite monastery in Constantinople and his involvement in various theological controversies of the time.Throughout the book, Gardner provides detailed analysis of Theodore's theological writings, including his defense of the veneration of icons and his critiques of various heresies. She also explores his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, such as Emperor Theophilos and Patriarch Ignatius.In addition to its focus on Theodore himself, the book also provides valuable insights into the broader historical and cultural context of the Byzantine Empire during the 9th century. Gardner discusses topics such as the iconoclastic controversy, the role of monasticism in Byzantine society, and the impact of the Arab-Byzantine wars.Overall, Theodore of Studium: His Life and Times is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church or the Byzantine Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
