Nestorianism The christological view attributed to Nestorius, a 5th century bishop of Constantinople. The early church debated various ideas about how Christ could be both divine and human throughout Late Antiquity (ca. ad 250–750). Nestorius resolved the difficulty by supposing that Christ’s humanity and divinity existed as two distinct and separate persons in the one being of Jesus Christ. In 451, the Council of Chalcedon articulated the view that Christ was a single person and a single being, not two persons in a single being as Nestorius taught.
