He was ordained in 381 and became bishop of Mopsuestia 392. His exegetical writings used scientific, critical, philological, and historical methods of analysis that anticipated modern scholarship. Theologically, he believed that Christ had two natures, divine and human, in some kind of union. He stressed the literal sense of scripture and opposed allegorical interpretations. The second Council of Constantinople (553) condemned his views, but he was venerated by the Nestorian church as "the Interpreter." He is said to have introduced into the Nestorian church the doctrine of universal salvation
