Sammy Allen received an award from the College Arts and Humanities Insitute to travel to the International Oxford Patristics Conference where they will present a paper entitled “Providential Computation: Reconstructing Theodoret’s Theology of History.” Allen’s essay shows the importance of a mathematized Platonic psychology to Theodoret’s conception of divine providence, especially as providence operates in Theodoret’s Ecclesiastical History.
