Christological Controversy from Constantinople I (381) to Chalcedon (451)

This lecture discusses the controversy over the person of Christ in the early Church from the Council of Constantinople I (381) until the Council of Chalcedon (451) addressing the Christology of figures such as Cyril of Alexandria, Nestorius of Constantinople, and Pope Leo the Great. Additionally, the heresies of Eutchyianism and Nestorianism are defined and explained along with the orthodox alternative as presented by the Chalcedonian Decree.

Very Beautifully Explained, Amaziing,Thanks...

A bit of Greek could help you read that the icon provided under which it is written the name of Nestorius is of St Spyridon, a totally different person.

It seems for Antiochians the notion person and nature are interchangeable.

you completely misunderstand what happened during Chalcedon. It was Nestor's followers revange, they claimed Cyril was teaching monophysics although he tought miaphysics. In the end of your video you reiterated exact definition of miaphysics as tought by Cyril. Chalcedon in contrary advocates for duophysics which is Nestorianism after renaming a few termins in it...

Thanks for stopping by Agasi. I think we have different interpretations of the Council. I am coming for a pro-Chalcedonian perspective, and you seem to be taking the miaphysite position. I do not think that Nestorianism is accurately described as dyophysitism but rather that Christ has two hypostases. One historical indication that Chalcedon is not Nestorian is that it did not lead to reunion with the Nestorian Church of the East, who considered it insufficient.

@@kjdrake3832 I am coming from pro historical accuracy perspective. Chalcedon was a coupe against Christianity led by papa Leo and number of papas following them to gain power above all other local and foreign churches. All these narratives about physics were intended to distruct attention and were actually fabricated, they took Cyril's terminology to cover up their Nestorian and Arian ideas. But again, that's secondary thing, the main idea was to promote papa.
