#REDIRECT {{summary | text=The Council of Ephesus was an [[ecumenical council]] held in [[Ephesus]] in [[Asia Minor]] in 431 AD. 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]].}} {{overview}} {{topics}}* [[Nestorianism]] | [[Assyrian Church of the East]]* [[Nature of Christ]] {{opinions}} {{quotes}} {{link}}* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Ephesus Wikipedia - Council of Ephesus] {{returnto}} [[Third Ecumenical CouncilCouncils]]
