Nestorianism. The Christian
heresy that within the incarnate
Christ there were two separate persons, the one divine, the other human. It is named for Nestorius (d.
c.451), patriarch of Constantinople from 428, who rejected the title
Theotokos (‘God-bearer’) for the Virgin
Mary as suggesting
Apollinarianism.
The so-called Nestorian Church is the ancient church of the Persian empire, now most properly called the
Church of the East.
