from Part I - The Council of Chalcedon and Its Reception
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2022
Simeon of Beth Arsham, who is known as the “Persian Debater,” was a defender of miaphysite Christology during the first half of the sixth century. The miaphysite position insisted on a formulation with one nature in Christ in contrast to the dyophysite (“two natures”) position, whether Chalcedonian or not. Simeon is one of the theologians, who, along with Philoxenos of Mabbug (d. 523), Severus of Antioch (d. 538), John of Tella (d. 538), and Jacob Burdʿoyo (d. 578), played a role in the eventual development of a distinct miaphysite church in the aftermath of the Council of Chalcedon (451).
