simplified: The normative Christology of the Assyrian church was written by Babai the Great ( 551 -- 628 ) and is clearly different from the accusations of dualism directed toward Nestorius : his main christological work is called the ` Book of the Union ' , and in it Babai teaches that the two qnome ( essences ) are unmingled but everlastingly united in the one parsopa ( personality ) of Christ .
