He was born at Germanicia in Southeast Turkey. He was a student of Theodore of Mopsuestia whose ideas he kept and echoed faithfully. Nestorius became bishop of Constantinople in 428, and began his attacks on Arian Heretics. He was brought about his condemnation at the Council of Ephesus in 431, because of his support for his chamberlain Anastasisus who earlier objected to the popularized description of Mary as bearer of God. At the end of Council meeting, Nestorius was condemned heretic and exiled. During his years in exile, he wrote his work The Bazaar of Heraclides in which Nestorius attempts to justify his position and answer the criticism of Cyril of Alexandria. Nestorius died in the upper Egypt about the year 451. |
