from Part II - Christological Perspectives after Constantinople II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2022
Babai the Great (d. 628) was the most important author of his generation in the Church of the East (also called the East Syrian or “Nestorian” church), the largest Christian community in the Sasanian empire. A monastic reformer, hagiographer, and theologian, he championed the doctrine that came to define his church’s orthodoxy – that Christ is two natures (kyāne) and two hypostases (qnome), united in one person (parṣopā). On the Union, selections of which are translated here, was Babai’s most thorough exposition of this teaching.
