Having looked at the heretical Christology of Nestorius, this week Dr. Jenkins wades into the deep but wonderful waters of St. Cyril's doctrine of the Incarnation, looking at why St. Cyril believed that our salvation was at stake in the questions dividing him from Nestorius.

What did Nestorius teach that struck St. Cyril of Alexandria as heresy? This episode Dr. Jenkins tackles the theology of Nestorius, archbishop of Constantinople, and how it was he came to the conclusions he did.

Constantinople seemed always an event, either coming, happening, or going. In the years before the Council of Ephesus (431) the city, reeling still from the deposition and exile of St. John Chrysostom, now faced a new challenge with the arrival of an Archbishop, Nestorius, at odds with the life and thought of the most influential elements of the city. This episode we get into the details.

This sets the stage for next week's episode on St. Ambrose and Theodosius the Great.
