What is Nestorianism?
{{unreferenced|date=June 2024}} '''Nestorianism''' is a movement within [[Christianity]]. The idea behind the [[doctrine]] was that there were two different persons of [[Jesus]]. One of them was the man Jesus, the other was the aspect of ''son of God'', or [[Logos]]. Perhaps the most prominent supporter of the idea was [[Nestorius]], [[archbishop]] of [[Constantinople]]. Nestorius lived from about 380 to about 450 AD. The [[Council of Ephesus]] condemned this view in 431. This led to a split of the church, into the [[Assyrian Church of the East]] and the [[Byzantine Church]]. For this reason, the Assyrian Church of the East is sometimes called ''Nestorian''. The church holds the view that Christ has two ''essences'' (''qnome'') that are united in one person (''parsopa''). The only two churches that teach Nestorianism today are the Assyrian Church of the East, and the [[Church of the East & Abroad]]. {{Denominations of Trinitarian Christianity}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Ancient Christianity]]
