The attention of readers is offered to the work of the famous representative of the Christian Antiochian school of the 5th century, theologian, exegete and church historian Bl. Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrus (393–466). The work “Abridged Exposition of Divine Dogmas” is a brief theological treatise that sets out the main provisions of the dogmatic teaching of the Church, starting with the doctrine of God, the creation of the world, the Incarnation and salvation and ending with issues of Christian morality - repentance, abstinence, marriage and virginity. His reasoning blzh. Theodoret is firmly based on Holy Scripture. “An Abbreviated Exposition of Divine Dogmas” is one of the first reviews of church dogma in the Ancient Church, but to this day this creation has not lost its relevance.
