Simmons’ Oxford paper at the press in Belgium

The paper that Dr. Michael Bland Simmons, distinguished research professor in the Department of History, World Languages & Cultures, read at the XVI International Conference on Patristics at the University of Oxford, UK, in August 2015, has gone through final editing and will be published later this year in Studia Patristica through Peeters Press, Leuven, Belgium.

The paper, “Exegesis and Hermeneutics in Eusebius of Caesarea’s Theophany (Book IV): The Contemporary Fulfillment of Jesus’ Prophecies,” philologically compares Hellenistic Greek fragments of the Theophany with parallel texts from a later Syriac translation to show how Eusebius’ interpretation of biblical prophecies changed after the Christianization of the Roman Empire under Constantine.

Simmons dedicated the paper to his four grandchildren – Hannah, Levi, Austin Michael and Ava Grace – and his two great-grandchildren ­– Alaya Maria and Emma Joy.
