Archbishop Michael B. Simmons, Ph.D. has recently had a scholarly article published: "Porphyrian Universalism: A Tripartite Soteriology and Eusebius' Response" in the Harvard Theological Review 102:2 (April 2009) 169-192. It is an analysis of Latin and Greek texts from Late Antiquity that are related to the pagan and Christian debate on universal salvation.

Archbishop Simmons' proposals for papers have been approved to be read at the American Academy of Religion meeting in March 2010 in Atlanta; and at the annual meeting of the North American Patristics Society in Chicago, May 2010. Both papers will analyze various soteriological themes of the Syriac language found in Book Five of the Theophany of Eusebius of Caesarea, the Father of Church History. The Theophany was the last work of Eusebius. Originally written in Greek, of which only fragments remain, it is extant in its entirety only in a Syriac text. Syriac is one of the ancient Semitic languages of Eastern Christianity whose script is similar to that of Arabic, and it is read from right to left.
