Summary/Abstract: In this brief article I discuss a passage from Patriarch Methodius’ Encomium of Agatha. I attempt to show that Methodius was a creative thinker who developed a complex interpretative framework. I argue that he radically deviated from the Patristic mainstream, declaring that corruption is necessary if there is going to be activity.
