Nestorius

Archbishop of Constantinople from c. 428 to 431

Nestorius of Constantinople (Ancient Greek: Νεστόριος; Syriac: ܡܪܝ ܢܣܛܘܪܝܣ, Mār Nesṭōrīs; c. 386 – c. 451) was an early Christian prelate who served as Archbishop of Constantinople from 10 April 428 to 11 July 431. He was a Christian theologian from the Catechetical School of Antioch, and several of his teachings in the fields of Christology and Mariology were seen as controversial and heretical, causing major disputes. In 431, he was condemned and deposed from his see by the Council of Ephesus, presided over by his archrival Cyril of Alexandria, but the counter-council led by John I of Antioch vindicated him and deposed Cyril in return.
