Summary

Theodoret was born ca. 393 in Antioch to a prominent Christian family. As the only child of a devout mother, he was not only well educated in the classical sense but was also exposed to monastic spirituality and piety from an early age. While still a child he was ordained a reader in the church of Antioch. Later he moved to a monastery near Apamea (Syria Secunda), where he became a professed monk. At the age of thirty, around 423, he was elected bishop of Cyrrhus.
