Four phases are identified here based on chronology and style. Over time Philoxenos moved from a disputational approach relying on scriptural arguments and the Syriac literary tradition of Ephrem to an emphasis on historical precedent and the orthodox pedigree of the Miaphysite tradition and finally to a more pragmatic strategy for the success of the Miaphysite Christology within the Imperial Church.
