from Part IV - Controversy over Nestorius
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 February 2022
On November 30, 430 Cyril of Alexandria, acting on behalf of the churches of both Rome and Alexandria, had his Third Letter to Nestorius delivered to Nestorius, openly accusing him of heresy.1 To this letter Cyril appended the Twelve Anathemas, Christological propositions threatening with excommunication everyone who did not subscribe to them. Being thus threatened with excommunication by Rome and Alexandria, Nestorius swiftly wrote a letter to his friend and compatriot John of Antioch, asking for advice.2 John then asked two prominent bishops from the Antiochene milieu, Theodoret of Cyrrhus and Andrew of Samosata, to respond in writing to Cyril’s Twelve Anathemas.
