Summary |
The Theological School of Alexandria was probably set to 180 by Pantene Alexandria , but its origins are probably earlier (it may go back to Mark the Evangelist ). The school trained a large number of theologians and church fathers.
Pantene's successors as head of the school were Clement of Alexandria and Origen (appointed in 215 by Patriarch Demetrius I ) led to the Lectio divina and the doctrine of the four senses of Scripture , then Heraclas and Dionysius of Alexandria and Didymus the Blind. Then, the school entered a period of decline.
Other theologians who were in connection with this school include Gregory the Miracle Worker , Gregory Nazianzen , Athenagoras , Athanasius of Alexandria , Cyril of Alexandria , and the historian Rufinus of Aquileia.
Others, like Jerome and Basil of Caesarea , made stays in this school to contact students.
