Antony Theodore’s most famous poem is “I Am Your Baby, Mum”. It has been translated into more than 20 languages. This deceptively simple yet powerful poem outwardly advocates against abortion of foetuses. This is as per Antony’s professed Catholic Christian faith. However it also has much deeper spiritual meaning. Love for God grows like a fertilised seed in the sanctuary of devotion in the heart of the sincere seeker. Abandonment of spiritual quest before full God realisation is akin to abortion of one’s own baby. Therefore abortion is nothing but abandonment of God. This book contains moving poems on the loving relationship between a mother and her baby. These can also be interpr...
Antony Theodore has written thousands of wonderful poems on spirituality and love. This book contains two hundred of his select poems on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The poems make several references to the Veda, Upanishad, Gita and other scriptures also. The poems are arranged in seven parts covering Miracle of Birth, Word of God, Mystery of Love, Voyage of Life, Temptation of Flesh, Final Cross and The After Life. Many of the poems dwell on the intimacy of human love as expressed through sexual attraction between man and woman.

Re-envisioning Theodore is the first comprehensive study of Theodore of Mopsuestia's biblical interpretation in his Catechetical Homilies. It challenges the common yet reductionist view of Theodore’s exegetical approach as “historical,” offering a balanced portrayal of this exegete. Theodore is not a slave of his interpretative methodology, and he may omit the exposition of the historical setting of the Bible and introduce elements not present in the biblical narrative.Re-envisioning Theodore also reveals Theodore’s previously little known exegetical ties with Pro-Nicenes and, through them, with Origen. For the first time, this book shows that his exegesis incorporates Greco-Syrian liturgical imagery.

Through panoramic lens the poet puts the spotlight on learning as it is a continuous and dynamic process and a never-ending saga. No person is omniscient. A person has to learn from seniors, juniors and voluminously from nature in each stage of the course of the journey of life. S/he needs to observe things, people and places to acquire knowledge and wisdom and channelize his/her acquired knowledge for the welfare of the society. This book is an anthology of poet’s own 65 poems based on his keen observation of different situations, people, places, cases, and analysis of different concepts. Each poem offers reading pleasure and stands as a case for effective generalization.
The Byzantine Empire - the Christianized Roman Empire - very soon defined itself in terms of correct theological belief, 'orthodoxy'. The terms of this belief were hammered out, for the most part, by bishops, but doctrinal decisions were made in councils called by the Emperors, many of whom involved themselves directly in the definition of 'orthodoxy'. Iconoclasm was an example of such imperial involvement, as was the final overthrow of iconoclasm. That controversy ensured that questions of Christian art were also seen by Byzantines as implicated in the question of orthodoxy. The papers gathered in this volume derive from those presented at the 36th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Dur...
