Council of Seleucia-Ctesiphon: Under Mar Aba I 544 AD - Paperback

by Mar Aba I of Seleucia (Author), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

This fifth council at the Persian city of Seleucia was completed to end the internal split in the church by its two previous Catholicos. Additional, Mar Aba and his collection of bishops are interested in ending the anarchy that was associated with the previous decade of ecclesiastical anarchy caused by the Persian schism. Under the direction of the Persian Shah Khosraw, the council declared the total authority of the Catholicos over all domains within the Persian state and beyond its political frontiers. Curiously, there is no mentioned to any Christological concerns which were a major feature of most councils of the Roman State.
