Anotations

Scope note:

Christian sect originating in Asia Minor and Syria that follows the beliefs of Nestorius, a 5th-century bishop of Constantinople whose doctrine was considered heretical by the established church. Nestorius stressed the independence of the divine and human natures of Christ and, in effect, suggested that they were two persons loosely united. Current members live in Iraq, Syria, and Iran.
