Jean d'Antioche

Iohannes Antiochenus

Biographie

Patriarch of Antioch from 429 to 441-442, he was a disciple of Nestorius. His late arrival at the Council of Ephesus enabled Cyril of Alexandria to have Nestorius condemned. But John retaliated by organizing a counter-council that condemned Cyril. The dispute was officially settled in 433 by the Act of Union: John admitted the condemnation of Nestorius, which put him at odds with some Syrian bishops such as Theodoret of Cyrus.
