Abstract

In the year 668, Theodore of Tarsus was consecrated by pope Vitalianas archbishop of Canterbury. His election was risky: it was thought Theodore, a "Greekman", could inculcate heretic doctrines. The present article intends to, from the researchon Theodore's work, establish the influence on him of non-orthodox teachings, and theway in which these might have influenced the archbishop's intellectual activity.
