Council of Shirakavan: 852 AD - Paperback

by Photos I of Constantinople (Author), H. Varosyan (Translator), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

The Canons of the Council of Shirakavan, established in 862, present a series of theological declarations affirming key Christian doctrines. They emphasize the necessity of confessing the unified nature of the Holy Trinity, the dual nature of Christ as both divine and human, and the significance of the Virgin Mary as the Mother of God. The canons condemn heretical views, including those attributed to Nestorius and Eutyches, and assert the importance of adhering to apostolic traditions. The text serves as a theological foundation for understanding Christ's nature and the role of the Church in preserving these beliefs.
