 Nestorius quickly became involved in the disputes of two theological factions, which differed in their Christology.Nestorius tried to find a middle ground between those who, emphasizing the fact that in Christ God had been born as a man, insisted on calling the Virgin Mary "Theotokos" ("birth-giver of God"), and those who rejected that title because God, as an eternal being, could not have been born.Nestorius suggested the title "Christotokos" ("birth-giver of Christ") as a compromise, but it did not find acceptance with either faction.
