Biography
Mentioned in Frances's notes on Joseph Milner's History of the Christian Church. According to Wikipedia: "His teachings included a rejection of the long-used title of Theotokos, "Mother of God", for Mary, mother of Jesus, and were considered by many to imply that he did not believe that Christ was truly God. This brought him into conflict with other prominent churchmen of the time, most notably Cyril of Alexandria, whom he accused of heresy."
