| (Eccl.
Hist.) |
An adherent of Nestorius, patriarch of
Constantinople in the fifth century, who has condemned as a heretic
for maintaining that the divine and the human natures were not merged
into one nature in Christ (who was God in man), and, hence, that it
was improper to call Mary the mother of God though she might
be called the mother of Christ; also, one of the sect
established by the followers of Nestorius in Persia, India, and other
Oriental countries, and still in existence. Opposed to
Eutychian.
