ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Arabic Homily of Pseudo-Theophilus of Alexandria

Okay kiddo, so a long time ago there was a man named Pseudo-Theophilus who wrote a speech in Arabic language. This speech is called a homily. Theophilus was from a place called Alexandria, which is in Egypt.

Now, a homily is like a speech that someone gives at a church or a mosque. It's usually about something in the Bible or the Quran, which are two important holy books for Christians and Muslims.

The Arabic language is one that is spoken in a lot of countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia and Iraq. So when Pseudo-Theophilus wrote his homily in Arabic, it was a way for people to understand it better because they could read and speak Arabic.

The homily that Pseudo-Theophilus wrote talks about a lot of different things, like how we should live our lives and how we should treat other people. It's kind of like a guidebook for how to be a good person.

Even though it was written a long time ago, some people still read the homily today because they think it has important lessons that can help them live a better life.
