In the early fifth century, the Christian world was racked by a fierce theological dispute over the nature of Christ's personhood, polarizing into conflict between Alexandria and Constantinople and their archbishops, St Cyril and Nestorius. This translated text, written by Cyril after the Council of Ephesus in 431, argues for the single divine subjectivity of Christ encompassing a full and authentic humanity.
