It was chiefly concerned with [[Nestorianism]], a doctrine that emphasized the human nature of [[Jesus]] at the expense of the divine. The Council denounced [[Nestorius]]' teaching as erroneous and decreed that Jesus was one person who was both fully God and fully man, and not two separate "people". Mary's title [[theotokos]] or "Mother of God" was affirmed in the council. Following the Council of Ephesus the [[Assyrian Church of the East]] split from the rest of the [[church]].}}
