Resumen de Diodore the Theologian: ... in his Commentary on Psalms 1-50
Dylan M. Burns (res.)
A view of πρoνοια that I describe as cooperative in that it preserves divine and human agency in the created order, reciprocal in that its specific benefits are contingent upon human action, and immanent in that God's care can be observed and expected in the events and affairs of history" (2, author's emphasis). The book's focus on the activity of πρoνοια in the enterprise of prophetic inspiration and literary production is thus an ingenious way to cull a greater Christian salvific-historical message from a commentary that is, as Wayman admits, hardly dedicated to Christology, and, ultimately, to exonerate Diodore from some of his modern criticisms (see esp. 242-43). Wayman effectively tackles here (esp. in Chapter Four) an ancient epistemology of revelation which is paired with an extremely proactive understanding of providential activity in lived religious life, particularly the reading of Scripture.
