The Antiochene school of theology is distinguished from that of the Alexandrian school in the following characteristics:
Antiochene exegesis tended to be historical, looking not for hidden or figurative meanings behind the text, but for the sense intended by the original writters.
Antiochene theology emphasized the oneness of God, abhoring any suggestion of tritheism, and asserting that the Persons of the Trinity are to be distinguished only by their mode of operation.
Antiochene christology emphasized the humanity of Christ, holding on to a loose union of the divine and human natures in Christ.
