Candide luôn có mặt trong tất cả các tuyển tập tác phẩm văn xuôi của Voltaire. Bên cạnh Zadig, Memnon, Micromégas, đây là tác phẩm lừng danh nhất của ông, được đánh giá là tác phẩm văn chương giàu tính triết học nhất mà Voltaire từng viết. Tuyển tập tác phẩm gần đây nhất của tủ sách La Pléiade, được tập hợp dưới cái tên “Romans et contes” (tiểu thuyết và truyện) có 26 tác phẩm, thì Candide được xếp thứ 11, nghĩa là ở vào khoảng giữa, và cũng thường được coi là được viết vào giai đoạn Voltaire đạt đến đỉnh cao của tài năng.Tác phẩm được viết để trả lời cho triết thuyết của Rousseau về Thượng đế và nhất là để phản đối chủ trương của triết gia Leibniz.Câu chuyện bắt đầu với chàng trai trẻ Candide, sống một cuộc sống sung sướng trong một nơi hoàn hảo như thiên đường và được truyền bá tinh thần lạc quan bởi Giáo sư Pangloss (đại diện cho Leibniz). Tác phẩm mô tả sự chấm dứt đột ngột của lối sống này, kéo theo đó là sự vỡ mộng dần dần và đau đớn của Candide khi anh chứng kiến và trải qua những gian khổ lớn lao trên thế giới. Voltaire kết thúc câu chuyện với Candide tin tưởng vào nguyên tắc rằng "chúng ta phải chăm sóc khu vườn của mình", thay cho tư tưởng Leibniz rằng thế giới này là "tốt nhất trong tất cả các thế giới" rồi, và mọi thứ đang diễn ra cũng đều là "tốt nhất có thể".Chống đối một lý thuyết trừu tượng hão huyền, Voltaire đề xuất một hoạt động cho sự vận hành của loài người: chủ động thay đổi thế giới của chúng ta. Quan điểm này được thuật lại bằng những cuộc phiêu lưu thú vị của Candide, cùng sự chối tai khôi hài và lúc nào cũng thấm đượm sự mỉa mai, trào lộng.--Tìm hiểu thêm về Fonos: https://fonos.vn/Theo dõi Facebook Fonos: https://www.facebook.com/fonosvietnam/

Julia Balbilla is an accomplished poet and close friend of the wife of one of Rome's mightiest emperors. Hadrian loves to travel and takes Julia and an entourage of thousands on the ultimate elite tourist trip- a leisurely Nile cruise to the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Colossus of Memnon, a statue that will sing for anyone blessed by the gods. Julia inscribes her poems on the giant foot of the statue, praising the power of Hadrian and the beauty of his wife, Sabina. It's a charming scene, darkened only by the fact that Hadrian's male lover, Antinous has only just drowned in the Nile. Was he murdered by jealous rivals, killed in a lover's tiff or did he drunkenly slip from the deck? Hadrian is publicly bereft, founding a new city in the name of Antinous, but seems happy to continue his luxury cruise. Mary Beard hops aboard Ancient Rome's most intriguing cruise with historian T. Corey Brennan and archaeologist Elizabeth Fentress. Producer: Alasdair CrossExpert Contributors: Corey Brennan, Rutgers University and Lisa Fentress Cast: Julia Balbilla played by Juliana LiskSpecial thanks to Andrea Bruciati, Villa Adriana

In this episode I break down the recent news of a remarkable new discovery in Egypt of a massive 62 ton box that was hiding underneath the ground where construction had begun for a new hospital. Was this box a "sarcophagus," or was it originally used for a different purpose? Next I will share the incredible true story of Sir William Siemens and the mysterious electrical phenomenon of 1859 that took place on top of the Great Pyramid. We will end the episode looking at Egypt's 1000 Ton twin titans of mystery - the Colossi of Memnon. Get ready to learn all about these colossal statues. Were they really constructed by the Dynastic Egyptians of around 3000 B.C. or are they actually much older?

Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823) è stato una Voce originalissima dell'Egittologia. Avventuriero per antonomasia, Belzoni fu un personaggio emblematico dell'epoca in cui visse. In questo episodio raccontiamo di lui, di come -complice il caso o il destino- arrivò in Egitto, accompagnato da coloro che lo seguirono, instancabili, in tutte le sue avventure: sua moglie Sarah e il loro giovane assistente James Curtin. Senza dimenticare la rocambolesca vicenda che lega questo gigante ad un'altro: Ramesse II.  Bibliografia: G. BELZONI, Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries in Egypt and Nubia, London, John Murray, 1820; (URL: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1053464.image#). S.

5 000 ans avant Jésus-Christ, la légendaire cité de Gomorrhe est sous la coupe de l'avide Memnon, un tyran maléfique déterminé à éliminer les peuplades nomades du désert. Menacées d'extinction, celles-ci en oublient leurs querelles séculaires et préparent ensemble une riposte. Sachant que leur adversaire s'inspire des visions et des prophéties d'un sorcier, elles engagent un assassin, Maythayus, pour tuer ce dernier. Après s'être introduit dans le camp ennemi, Maythayus découvre que le sorcier est en fait une magnifique jeune femme se nommant Cassandra. Incapable de la tuer, le guerrier s'enfuit avec elle dans le désert.Pour son grand retour dans STEROIDS - LE PODCAST, Julien Dupuy se retrouve à devoir assumer un amour de jeunesse avec LE ROI SCORPION de Chuck Russell, film qu'il avait trouvé "rigolo" en son temps.

They were proverbial as liars, cheats, and accomplished knaves. They once stole Heracles' weapons, during the time he was the penitent servant of Omphale. He punished them by tying them to a pole he slung over his shoulder with their faces pointing downwards, the only way they appear on Greek vases. The sight of Heracles' dark-tanned butt set them all to laughing, so that Heracles let them go free.  But it's all fun and games until you tick off Zeus.  My name's… You know what I love about humans?  The contrary coincidence that we are as complimentary as we are [contrary].  In normal person speak, that is to say, we're as alike as we are different.  And how is that manifesting in your earballs today?  Monkey gods!  My nerd brethren will be extra excited to know it's not just Sun Wu Kong.    Monkeys inhabit the tropical rainforests of Africa, Central America, South America and Asia, and so the peoples of Africa, Central America, South America and Asia have monkeys in their faiths and folklores.  Monkey mythology is an important part of both Hindu / Buddhist lore (India) and Zodiac / Taoist / Buddhist lore (China). In the various tales... the monkey is portrayed initially as foolish, vain, and mischievous. Yet, in each tradition, the monkey learns valuable lessons along the way, makes changes, and eventually gains redemption. The monkey thus embodies the themes of repentance, responsibility, devotion, and the promise of salvation to all who sincerely seek it.  Monkey lore in India dates to at least 500 BCE and the monkey god Hanuman.  Revered for his bravery, strength, and dedication to justice, he is connected to the sun, the wind, and thunder.  Monkeys in general are revered in several parts of India.  Monkey lore in China predates Buddhism, for the Monkey appears in the Chinese Zodiacal beliefs, believed by scholars to date to around 1100 BCE.  In some parts of China, the Monkey is the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."  In Chinese mythology, the monkey god was the afore-mentioned Sun-Wukong, the Monkey King and trickster god who stars in the 16th-century book Journey To The West.  Sun-Wukong is the basis for Goku in Dragonball, only one of the biggest anime franchises in the world.     Monkey lore in Japan took hold after the arrival of Buddhism in the mid-6th century CE and the monkey was alternately a messenger to the gods or a physical manifestation of a god.  The Monkey was thought to protect against demons as well as disease and is a patron of fertility, safe childbirth, and harmonious marriages.  But not all monkeys, or thing that looked like monkeys, were your friend, though I would probably still try to pet it, regardless because -let's face it- I'm going to die trying to pet something I should have (fingers crossed).  If you find yourself in the land of the rising sun, once the world reopens for safe travel, obviously, you'll want to keep a keen eye out for sarugami.  According to folklorist Yanagita Kunio, sarugami are a prime example of “fallen” gods—spirits once revered as gods, but who have since been forgotten. I would have called them forsaken gods, which is twice as accurate and five times as metal.  These beliefs never entirely vanish, though, and such spirits often remain as degenerate versions of their former selves, i.e. yōkai or demon.  Sarugami look just like the wild monkeys, only bigger and more vicious, a subtle distinction.  They can speak, and sometimes they are seen wearing human clothes as well, two less subtle distinctions.    Long ago, before Buddhism arrived, monkeys were worshiped as gods in parts of Japan. The southern part of Lake Biwa in modern-day Shiga Prefecture was an important center of monkey worship, based at Hiyoshi Taisha. Monkeys were seen as messengers and servants of the sun, in part because they become most active at sunrise and sunset. Because of this, monkey worship was popular among farmers, who also awoke and retired with the sun. Over the centuries, as farming technology improved, people became less reliant on subsistence farming. More and more people took up professions other than farming. As a result, monkey worship began to fade away, and the monkey gods were forgotten. Today, monkeys are viewed as pests by farmers, as they dig up crops, steal food from gardens, and sometimes even attack pets and small children.   Sarugami behave for the most part like wild monkeys. They live in the mountains and tend to stay away from human-inhabited areas.  Buuut, when sarugami does interact with humans, it almost always ends in violence. Most legends follow a pattern: a sarugami kidnaps a young village woman and heroes are called upon to go out into the wilderness, kill the monster and save the girl.  This puts sarugami on the same keel as trolls and brainless monsters, quite a demotion indeed.   It's not all bad for the sarugami, though.  While the early monkey cults had vanished, sarugami worship continued throughout the middle ages in esoteric religions such as Kōshin.  In Koshin, monkeys came to be viewed as servants of the mountain deities, or as mountain deities themselves, acting as intermediaries between the world we live in and the heavens. The famous three wise monkey statues—mizaru, kikazaru, and iwazaru (“see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil”)—come from Kōshin and are a prime example of sarugami worship.  Three rather famous monkeys hail from the land of the rising sun, usually referred to as "Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil."  By the time of Tokugawa/Edo period, from 1603 to 1867, the three monkeys were portrayed in Buddhist sculptures.  The message is that we should protect ourselves by not letting evil enter our sight, not allowing evil words to enter our hearing, and finally to not speak and engage in evil words and thoughts, but a lot of folks, especially in the West, take it to mean to ignore or turn a blind eye to something that's wrong.   Legend has it, long ago the Buddha appeared at Hiyoshi Taisha, a Shinto shrine located in the city of Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, about the same time a large gathering of monkeys arrived in the area.  The collective noun for a group of monkeys is a troop, btw, or a tribe, or because we have the option, a carload and, yes, a barrel.  You can say a barrel of monkeys.  So the Buddha took the form of a monkey, and foretold the fortunes of the faithful worshipers at Hiyoshi Taisha.  This appearance had been foreseen thousands of years prior by Cang Jie, the legendary inventor of Chinese writing, in the neighborhood of 2650 BCE.  Of course, the legend also says Legend has it that he had four eyes, and that when he invented the characters, the deities and ghosts cried and the sky rained millet.  When Cang Jei invented the word for god (神), [sfx forvo] he constructed it out of characters meaning indicate (示) [sfx] and monkey (申) [sfx] to foretell this event.  In other words, “monkey indicates god.”  Isn't that an intersting etymology?  To reference a Twitter trend, red flag emoji, red flag emoji, red flag emoji.  It's not that words *never have good backstories like that; it's that words *almost never have coold backstories.  Also, if someone tells you a common word is actually an anagram, tell ‘em I said “Bless your heart,” because that's even more rare.   In the Americas, the Mayans of Guatemala and Mexico worshiped a howler monkey god, or maybe a pair of twin gods, depending on the story, patron of the arts; music, scribes and sculptors.  The Howler Monkey also corresponds to knowledge of history and rituals, as well as prophecy.  There is a fabled lost "Ciudad Blanca" or white city in Honduras is supposedly dedicated to the Monkey God.  Pre-Columbian Toltec and Maya texts call it "The ancient place where the aurora originates."  In Aztec mythology of Mexico, the monkey was connected to the sun, and was guarded by Cochipilli, the god of flowers, fertility, and fun!  My kinda   Among the Classic Mayas, the howler monkey god was a major deity of the arts, both visual and musical.  Two monkey gods or two versions of the same god, I'm not sure, have been depicted on classical vases in the act of writing books and sculpting busts.  This may be a depiction of a creation story, with the book containing the birth signs and the head the life principle or 'soul.'  Copán in western Honduras in particular is famous for its representations of Howler Monkey Gods.  Spanish friar Bartolomé de las Casas stated that in the region of Alta Verapaz, the two monkeys were two of the thirteen sons of the upper god, and were celebrated as cosmogonic creator deities.  Among the Quiché Mayas in the midwestern highlands, they were held in somewhat less esteem.  They'd been turned into monkeys after getting in a scrap with their half-brothers, the Maya Hero Twins, who had top billing as far as the mythos was concerned. MIDROLL   While African-Americans have had to deal with “monkey” as an epithet, peoples in Africa traditionally held primates in high esteem.  The root of the word Primate, is Prime, which means first, chief, excellent, and best.  Of all the wild things in the wild woods, monkeys and apes were seen as the most intelligent animals, and so they became symbols of wisdom.  That's why Rafiki in “The Lion King” is a baboon, based on the baboon depiction of the god of wisdom Djehuti, Tehuti, or Thoth.  Yes, Thoth is usually depicted with the head of an Ibis bird, such as on the fabulous Crash Course Mythology series, but the baboon form was popular too.   In the Ivory Coast, The role of Monkeys as guardians of the crossroads or gateways to the Ancestors can also be found in the God Ghekre or Gbekre of the Baule people of the Ivory Coast.  Gbekre or Mbotumbo is both judge of hell and helper of the living against their enemies. Skillfully-carved wooden statues of Ghekre were common and combined animal and human traits.   Over in the old kingdom, you hope it will be a while before you meet the Egyptian monkey god Hapi.  Not to be confused with another Egyptian god named Hapi, who was ostensibly a human figure expressing both male and female characteristics.  One of the four sons of Horus, Hapi is depicted protecting the throne of Osiris in the Underworld.  He is commonly depicted with the head of a hamadryas baboon, and it's Hapi's job to protect the lungs of deceased persons being mummified, which is why the canopic jar the holds the lungs is often topped with a a hamadryas baboon head motif lid.  When embalming practices changed in the Third Intermediate Period about the 3k years ago, the mummified organs were placed back inside the body, so an amulet of Hapi would be added to the mix to still invoke his protection.  When his image appears on the side of a coffin, he is usually aligned with the side intended to face north.    Lung-loving Hapi wasn't the only baboon about in ancient Egypt, but he was definitely the nicer of the two.  The other tended to be a little…. murdery….and a bit problematic.  Babi ‘bull (i.e. dominant male) of the baboons' lives on human entrails, which is not outlandish for a baboon, as they are omnivores with tremendous fangs and a well-earned reputation for carnivoration.  He also kills all humans on sight, so be sure you know the right prayers and spells to protect yourself, especially after death.  Your heart will be weighed against a feather in the Hall of the Two Truths to see if you can get a seat upgrade to paradise.  To his credit, though, Babi can use his immense power to ward off dangers like snakes and control turbulent waters, so, like the rest of us, a mixed bag.  Baboons also have libidos turned up to 11, so send the kids out of the room now.  Babi was considered the god of virility of the dead.  One spell in a funerary text identifies the deceased person's phallus with Babi, ensuring that the deceased will be able to get down, make love in the afterlife.  He was usually portrayed with an erection, and that erection is also the bolt of the gate between the night and day *and the mast of the ferry which conveyed the righteous to the Field of Reeds to chill with Osiris.  Why, I cannot say and do not wish to Google.   There's lots of good googling if you look up Hanuman, the Hindu primate deity.  Hanuman, depicted as a bipedal monkey with a red face, is worshipped both in his own shrines and as a secondary figure in temples to Rama.  You'll know if you're at a Hanuman-exclusive temple, because it will be absolutely alive with monkeys.  You can't mistreat a monkey in or around a temple of the monkey god, which the monkeys figured out centuries ago.   Hanuman was the child of the wind god and a nymph.  As a little god-ling, he tried to fly up and grab the sun, which he mistook for a fruit.  The king of the gods Indra struck Hanuman with a thunderbolt on the jaw, the word for which is hanu, hence his name.  Unable or unwilling to behave, Hanuman was cursed by powerful sages to forget his magic powers, cool powers like flight and the ability to become massively large at will, until he was reminded of them.  Hanuman led the monkeys to help Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu, recover his wife from the demon king of Lanka, which is surprisingly *not modern-day Sri Lanka.  Jambavan, the king of the bears, reminded Hanuman of his powers, which allowed him to cross the water demoness-filled strait between India and Lanka in one leap.  The Lankans discovered Hanuman and set his tail on fire, but he used that fire to burn Lanka to the ground.  He then flew to the Himalayas and returned with enough medicinal herbs to tend to all the wounded in Rama's army.  For his service to Rama, Hanuman is upheld as a model for all human devotion.   Hanuman is also a popular figure among Buddhists in most of Asia, with temples and even whole districts of towns bearing his name.  Like a game of telephone, the farther you get from India, the more Hanuman's story changes.  For example, the original Sanskirt telling portrays him as effortlessly chaste, whereas he has wives and children in other traditions.  And if his exploits sounded a tiny drill bit familiar, you won't be surprised to know that he has been identified as the inspiration for the monkey hero Sun Wu Kong of the great Chinese poem Xiyouji “Journey to the West,” and Sun Wo Kong is the inspiration for Sun Goku in Dragonball, so in a way, Dragonball is based on a Hindu god.    There is a wrinkle in our tale of Hanuman, and that's actual monkeys.  Monkeys are wild in India, like deer, racoons, and pigeons.  You might rightly surmise by the animals I've grouped them with that monkeys are routinely pests, and what pest they are.  Think about how clever a racoon is, then make it an acrobat who can understand a train schedule.  In Delhi, rhesus macaques have become a menace.  Government buildings are practically under siege.  Macaques use Delhi's tree-lined streets to swing between the buildings, damaging power lines in the process.  If you're walking around outside with food, you can almost expect to have a fight on your hands.  And you thought seagulls at the beach were bad.  Being inside is no safe bet either.  The macaques like to enter offices through open windows and destroy paperwork and generally being chaos Muppets.   There are an estimated 40,000 monkeys living in Delhi.  That is a pre-covid number, so it wouldn't surprise me if the macaques have been making hay while the sun shines.  But then I suppose you have to factor how dependent they are on robbing humans for food, in which case their numbers may have gone down during proper lock-down, though there would have been a terrifying period of too many monkeys and not enough pack lunches.  Many solutions to keep monkey and man separate have been tried and many solutions have failed.  For a time, the city employed a crack squadron of the larger black-faced langur monkeys to scare away the macaques.  It worked a treat, but the unit was disbanded after animal rights activists protested against keeping the langurs captive.  Thankfully for the workers in the area, there is no such concern for the three dozen men who are hired to pretend to be langurs.  Before you form the image in your mind, no, they're not wearing costumes, but I would pay money to see that.  They mimic the langurs' barks and howls to scare the macaques away.  Unfortunately, the monkeys return as soon as the primate-impressionists leave.   One complication, which you see in urban animal control the world over, is that people feed the macaques.  They are associated with a god, after all.  The fact that feeding the macaques is against the guidelines passed by Parliament doesn't seem to enter into it.  You also can't work on the monkey problem on Tuesdays.  That's the day Hanuman is worshipped, so all monkeys get a free pass, and a free meal, every week.  So what can be done?  In a few words, not much.  The government warns citizens not to make eye contact with the monkeys, as they interpret it as threatening, and avoid getting between a mother and child.  If you didn't go looking for trouble but it found you anyway, the official circular recommends: “Do not ever hit any monkey. Keep hitting the ground with a big stick to make [the] monkey leave.”   Bonus fact: In 2014, the government of India found that Hanuman had been issued a biometric ID card.  The card lists a mobile phone number and an address in the western state of Rajasthan.  The picture looks like it's from a painting and it's not clear whose iris scan and fingerprints were associated with the card.   MIDROLL 2 Okay, okay, we're finally going to talk about the monkey in the room.  I saved the best for last, the first name that would come to many minds if you asked them to name a monkey god, though he's not really a god, he's just incredibly powerful, or OP as the kids say, the one, the only, the triple-immortal monkey king Sun Wukong. [sfx wrestler walk-on music]  Sun Wukong is the main and most enduring character from the 500 year old novel, Journey to the West.  The 1900 page book about the 36000 mile journey starts with Sun Wukong's origin story, then sees him gather a five-man band --a pig demo, a fallen river spirit, a white dragon horse, and a regular human monk– for an epic adventure.   Sun Wukong was born from a rock on the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain and becomes king of the monkeys that live there.  He finds more than one way to make himself immortal and goes off on adventures.  The idea of living forever really appeals to Sun, so when he returns, he trains the monkeys into an army to take down the Eastern Dragon King by force, so he can take his and all monkeys' names from the Book of Life and Death, releasing them from the cycle of death and rebirth.  He then defeats some Heavenly warriors sent to capture him, gets a post in Heaven only to rage quit when he finds out it has no actual power whatsoever, returning yet again as The Great Sage Equal of Heaven, and committing a series of monkey-shines and outright crimes.  He steals quite a variety of things, including the Heavenly Empress's peaches, the dishes prepared for an important banquet, all the holy wine, and the pills of immortality created by Lao Tzu, which kicks off a war between Heaven and Flower Fruit Mountain, whoopsie-doodles.  Wu Kong is captured, but As no weapon or even lighting can scratch him, he is burnt in Lao Tzu's furnace for 49 days.  This backfires on the Jade Emperor of Heaven giving him new powers and making him really angry.  When the furnace is opened, he leaps out of it and proceeds to wreck total havoc in Heaven, fighting thousands of Heavenly soldiers by himself.  The Heavenly Emperor asks the Buddha for help, and the Buddha outwits and outperforms the egomaniacal monkey king and traps the cheeky monkey underneath the Mountain of Five Elements.  Sun Wukong stayed trapped there for 500 years, and we still haven't gotten to the journeying part of Journey to the West.   The story was not only entertainment, but effectively Buddhist propaganda.  Sun Wukong is far and away the most powerful power character in the story, more powerful than the Jade Emperor and all his armies, but he was no match for the Buddha.  It's like if you've been reading Deadpool comics for months, then suddenly Deadpool gets beaten the spirit of Bob Ross, so that you'll want to take up painting and generally be pleasant and soft-spoken and keep a squirrel in your pocket, I don't know, this analogy got away from me pretty quickly.  The story spread with the religion, as well as independent of it, becoming a touchstone throughout Asia.  In Japan, the Monkey King is known as Son Goku, for example, while in Korea his name is Son Oh Gong. The story is popular throughout the rest of Asia as well, all the way to Vietnam, Thailand, and even Malaysia and Indonesia.   So just how powerful is Sun Wukong?  How about the strongest non-omnipotent character in all of fiction?  Here are just a few of his greatest hits.  He could run “with the speed of a meteor” and cover 34,000mi/54,000km in one leap, so Superman better watch his back.  Sun Wukong carries a staff that can be as small as a pin or as big as a mountain, but always weighs 8 tons.  He can freeze people in mid-fight, not that he needs to, control the weather, and make copies of himself.  One of his abilities is called the 72 earthly transformations And that… In another myth, designed to explain their name ("tail-men" in Greek), Zeus changed the Cercopes into monkeys (from this we have the genus Cercopithecus). In still another myth, Zeus turned them to stone for trying to deceive even him, the stone was shown to visitors to Thermopylae. Acmon, companion of Diomede, insulted Aphrodite and is turned into a bird. In Greek mythology, Cercopes were two demigods brothers. They were thieves and they even attempted to steal Heracles' weapons. Zeus changed them into monkeys. This myth, inspired zoologists to name the genus of monkeys depicted in Minoan frescoes as Cercopithecus.   Sources: https://www.wilderutopia.com/environment/wildlife/howler-monkeys-among-the-maya-divine-patrons-to-the-artisans/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howler_monkey_gods Hart, George (2005).

durée : 00:28:48 - Zadig ou la Destinée de Voltaire 1/3 - Le conte philosophique est un genre littéraire qui apparaît au XVIIIème siècle, en réponse à la censure que subissent les philosophes. L'imaginaire permet l'approche de la condition humaine ou de la société par un moyen détourné et moins subversif en utilisant un monde et des personnages fictifs. L'auteur à qui l'on doit l'émergence du genre est incontestablement Voltaire. Après l'adaptation radiophonique de Candide, nous vous proposons d'écouter de larges extraits de Zadig paru pour la première fois en 1747 sous le titre de Memnon puis en 1748 sous le titre qu'on lui connaît encore: Zadig ou la Destinée. Jeune, riche, beau et intelligent, savant et brave, Zadig est très courtisé à babylone, il incarne à lui seul la plénitude du bonheur humain lorsque les caprices de la fortune mettent à l'épreuve la fermeté de son caractère et les ressources de son esprit. Trahi par la belle Sémire, en butte à la féroce jalousie du roi Moabdar, le voici bientôt réduit à l'état misérable de vagabond. Mais le malheur est-il vraiment sans remède pour qui possède au plus haut point, comme Zadig, "le talent de démêler la vérité que tous les hommes cherchent à obscurcir" ? On peut discerner dans Zadig la méditation d'un sage sur les jeux imprévisibles de la liberté et de la nécessité. On peut relire entre ses lignes Newton, Leibniz et Spinoza. On peut y découvrir également d'impertinentes allusions à la vie de Cour, une plaisante transposition romancée des mésaventures versaillaises de Voltaire et de ses déboires sentimentaux dans les années 1745-1747. Le monde de Zadig annonce déjà celui du Candide et la conception de Voltaire face au problème du mal : être vertueux ne vous protège pas du mal, au contraire, cela vous expose à la méchanceté, et vous en aurez quand même subi les conséquences même si finalement un miracle survient qui vous sauve. Cependant, le méchant ne triomphe pas, il finit mal, même si ça prend du temps.

L'imaginaire permet l'approche de la condition humaine ou de la société par un moyen détourné et moins subversif en utilisant un monde et des personnages fictifs. L'auteur à qui l'on doit l'émergence du genre est incontestablement Voltaire. Après l'adaptation radiophonique de Candide, nous vous proposons d'écouter de larges extraits de Zadig paru pour la première fois en 1747 sous le titre de Memnon puis en 1748 sous le titre qu'on lui connaît encore: Zadig ou la Destinée. Jeune, riche, beau et intelligent, savant et brave, Zadig est très courtisé à babylone, il incarne à lui seul la plénitude du bonheur humain lorsque les caprices de la fortune mettent à l'épreuve la fermeté de son caractère et les ressources de son esprit. Trahi par la belle Sémire, en butte à la féroce jalousie du roi Moabdar, le voici bientôt réduit à l'état misérable de vagabond. Mais le malheur est-il vraiment sans remède pour qui possède au plus haut point, comme Zadig, "le talent de démêler la vérité que tous les hommes cherchent à obscurcir" ? On peut discerner dans Zadig la méditation d'un sage sur les jeux imprévisibles de la liberté et de la nécessité. On peut relire entre ses lignes Newton, Leibniz et Spinoza. On peut y découvrir également d'impertinentes allusions à la vie de Cour, une plaisante transposition romancée des mésaventures versaillaises de Voltaire et de ses déboires sentimentaux dans les années 1745-1747. Le monde de Zadig annonce déjà celui du Candide et la conception de Voltaire face au problème du mal : être vertueux ne vous protège pas du mal, au contraire, cela vous expose à la méchanceté, et vous en aurez quand même subi les conséquences même si finalement un miracle survient qui vous sauve. Cependant, le méchant ne triomphe pas, il finit mal, même si ça prend du temps.

You are members of The Bastion, a network of freelance adventurers making a living as hired guns in the nation of Calimshan. The three of you have just successfully fulfilled a contract in Teshburl, a port city in the southwest corner of the Calim Desert. You'd been hired by a wealthy merchant to transport a caravan of goods from Memnon (further up the coast) to his storehouses in Teshburl. Upon the safe delivery of those goods, you were soon approached by a half-orc representing a group known as The Bordershield. They now have a similar task for you: Deliver a piece of cargo from Teshburl to a camp a days' journey or so into the Calim Desert. You've agreed and that is where you find yourself now. Each of you on the deck of your own small sand skiff, several hours northwest of Teshburl on a rolling, windswept section of desert. The Bordershield provided you with three skiffs and a skilled driver for each. You exchange looks across the sands and keep watch over the fourth, larger, vessel in the center of the protective triangle your formation of skiffs creates. The fourth skiff carrying whatever cargo you're delivering to the camp. You don't know what's in it. It's not your job to know. All you care about is getting it to the camp and those suspiciously large dunes that just appeared in the distance.

El título de este episodio es, "¿Porque no podemos llevarnos bien?"En nuestro último episodio comenzamos a mirar cómo la Iglesia del 4º y 5º siglo intentó describir la Encarnación. Una vez que el concilio de Nicea afirmó la deidad de Jesús, junto con su humanidad, los líderes de la Iglesia se quedaron con la tarea de encontrar las palabras adecuadas para describir quién era Jesús. Si él era Dios y Hombre, como el Credo Nicea decía, ¿cómo se relacionaban estas dos naturalezas una con la otra?Hemos estudiado cómo las iglesias de Alejandría y Antioquía eran diferentes en sus enfoques en como comprender y enseñar la Biblia. Aunque Alejandría era reconocida como un centro de enseñanza, la iglesia en Antioquía seguía produciendo líderes de la iglesia que fueron llamados a tomar la posición tan importante de Obispo de Constantinopla, en el centro político del Imperio de Oriente. Mientras que Roma era indiscutiblemente la iglesia principal en el Oeste, Alejandría, Antioquía y Constantinopla competían entre sí sobre quién tomaría la iniciativa en el Oriente. Pero la verdadera contienda era entre Alejandría en Egipto y Antioquía de Siria.La disputa entre las dos ciudades y sus iglesias se hizo evidente durante la época de Juan Crisóstomo de Antioquía y Teófilo, Obispo principal de Alejandría. Por la gran reputación de Juan como un predicador fenomenal, fue escogido para ser Obispo en Constantinopla. Pero las críticas de Juan hacia la decadencia de los ricos, junto con que se rehusaba a moderar sus llamadas de atención hacia las acciones de la Emperatriz, lo hizo caer fuera de favor. Supongo que puedes ser un gran predicador, tanto que no enfoques tu predicación hacia las personas en el poder. Teófilo estaba celoso de la promoción de Crisóstomo de Antioquía a la capital y utilizó el clima político en contra de Juan para llamar a un sínodo en el cual Juan fue destituido de su posición como Patriarca de Constantinopla.Este fue como la primera ronda del match en la pelea entre Alejandría y Antioquía. La segunda ronda 2 y la ronda decisiva fue el siguiente paso en la contienda entre 2 hombres; Cirilo & Nestóreo.Cirilo era el sobrino de Teófilo y asistió a su tío en el Sínodo del Encino en el cual Juan Crisóstomo fue condenado. Cirilo aprendido bien sus lecciones y las aplico con mayor ferocidad para derribar a su oponente, Nestóreo.Antes de proceder con estos 2, necesito retroceder un poco y aburrirlos grandemente con unos detalles técnicos.Advertencia: Alerta a continuación, verán palabras largas, difíciles de pronunciar, y absolutamente olvidables.Recuerden è La gran cuestión teológica en la mente de todos durante este tiempo era cómo entender a Jesús.Bueno, lo entendemos:Nicea à El Credo ha sido aceptada como doctrina cristiana básica.Los Padres Capadocios nos han dado la fórmula correcta para comprender la Trinidad.Hay 1 Dios en 3 personas: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.Ahora, a lo siguiente: Jesús es Dios y hombre. ¿Cómo funciona esto? ¿Es 2 personas o 1? ¿Tiene 1 naturaleza o 2? Y SI 2, ¿cómo se relacionan las naturalezas la una a la otra?Un par de ideas estaban flotando para resolver el problema, pero se quedaron cortos; fueron Eutiquianismo y Apolinarismo.Apolinar de Laodicea vivió en el 4º siglo. El fue un defensor del Credo de Nicea, decía que en Jesús el Logos divino sustituyó el alma humana. Jesús tuvo un cuerpo humano en el cual habitaba un espíritu divino. Nuestro viejo amigo Atanasio condujo el sínodo de Alejandría en el año 362 para condenar este punto de vista, pero no nombro específicamente a Apolinar. Veinte años más tarde, el Concilio de Constantinopla hizo justamente eso. Gregorio Nacianceno dio el argumento decisivo en contra del Apolinarismo diciendo, "Lo que no se asume no fue sanado" que significa, que para que la totalidad del cuerpo, alma y espíritu de una persona sean salvos, Jesucristo debió haber tomado una naturaleza humana completa.Eutiques fue, cómo describirlo... un anciano-Anciano, un líder importante, un anciano monje en Constantinopla, que aboga por una naturaleza para Jesús. El Eutiquianismo decía que aunque en la encarnación, Jesús era Dios y hombre, su naturaleza divina totalmente había abrumado su naturaleza humana, como una gota de vinagre se pierde en el mar.Los que mantenían la doble naturaleza de Jesús como totalmente Dios y totalmente hombre seguían al Diofisismo. Aquellos que defendían una sola naturaleza seguían al Monofisismo.Lo que sucedió entre Cirilo y Nestóreo fue esto . . .Nestóreo fue un anciano y encargado de un monasterio en Antioquía cuando el Emperador Teodosio II lo eligió para ser Obispo de Constantinopla en el año 428.Ahora, lo que estoy a punto de decir algunas personas lo encontrarán difícil de digerir, pero mientras Nestóreo se asoció con el nombre de una de las principales herejías que dividio a la iglesia, probablemente no fue culpable el error del cual es acusado. Lo que Nestóreo si era culpable era de ser necio y insensato. Su historia fue típica de varios de los hombres que fueron elegidos para dirigir la iglesia de Constantinopla del 4º al 7º siglo; predicadores eficaces pero pésimos administradores y con graves carencias en tratar con la gente. Miren, si van a estar elegidos para dirigir a la Iglesia en el centro político del imperio, es mejor que sean expertos operadores políticos, así como un hombre de una moral y ética de excelencia. También una fuerte dosis de tacto debería haber sido un pre-requisito. Pero desafortunadamente los seleccionados llegaron a la capital en una campaña de limpiar casa. Y muchos de ellos parecen haber pensado que la sutileza era una herramienta del diablo.Tan pronto como llegó Nestóreo a Constantinopla, comenzó una dura campaña en contra de los herejes, y los herejes eran cualquiera con el cual el no estaba de acuerdo. No tardo mucho en que sus enemigos lo acusaran de lo mismo que el acusaba a los demás. Pero en su caso, las acusaciones, eran nacidas de la envidia.Donde decidieron tomar ofensa fue cuando Nestóreo rechazo el uso de la palabra "Theotókos". La palabra significa Portador de Dios, y fue utilizado por la iglesia de Alejandría para la madre de Jesús. Mientras que los de Alejandría rechazaban el Apolinarismo, hacian hincapié en la naturaleza divina de Jesús, diciendo que sobrellevaba su naturaleza humana. El obispo de Alejandría, Cirilo, fue aun más celoso porque habían escogido a Nestóreo de Antioquia como obispo de la Capital. De la misma manera que su tío Teófilo había tomado ventaja de la desgracia de Crisóstomo para destituirlo, Cirilo planeo como destruir al cada vez más impopular Nestóreo. La batalla en torno a la palabra "Theotókos", se convirtió en el punto de controversia, la grieta necesaria para que Cirilo quitara a Nestóreo de su posición.A los que apoyaban la teología Alejandrina, Theotokos parecía enteramente apropiada para María. Decían que ella si Portaba a Dios cuando Jesús se encarnó en su vientre. ¡Y negarlo era negar la deidad de Cristo!Nestóreo y sus muchos seguidores estaban preocupados que el título de "Theotokos" haría a María una diosa. Nestóreo sostuvo que María fue la madre del hombre que estaba unido con el Logos divino, y nada debe decirse que podría implicar que ella era la "Madre àde Dios".  Nestóreo prefiera el título Cristokos; María fue la Portadora de Cristo. Pero carecía de un vocabulario y la sofisticación teológica para relacionar las naturalezas humana y divina de Jesús de una manera convincente.Cirilo, por otro lado, argumento de una manera convincente, su posición desde las Escrituras. En el año 429, Cirilo defendió el término Theotókos. Su texto clave fue Juan 1:14, "El Verbo se hizo carne". Me encantaría lanzarme a una descripción detallada de las facetas de la discusión entre Cirilo y Nestóreo sobre la naturaleza de Cristo, pero creo que dejaría a la mayoría, incluyéndome a mi, sin entender mucho mas de lo que sabemos ahora.Baste decir, Nestóreo mantuvo la doble naturaleza-en-una-persona de Cristo mientras que Cirilo tomo la línea tradicional de Alejandría y dijo que mientras Jesús tenia técnicamente dos naturalezas humana y divina, la divina abrumaba a la humana, de modo que efectivamente operaba como Dios en un cuerpo físico.El punto en que este debate se calento fue sobre la cuestión de que si realmente Jesús sufrió o no en su pasión en la cruz. Nestóreo decía que el hombre Jesús sufrió, pero no su naturaleza divina, mientras que Cirilo decía que la naturaleza divina si verdaderamente sufrió.Cuando el obispo Romano Celestino se enteró de la controversia entre Cirilo y Nestóreo, seleccionó a un hombre de la iglesia llamado Juan Casiano para responder a Nestóreo. Lo hizo en su obra titulada Sobre la Encarnación en el año 430 d.C. Casiano tomo el lado de Cirilo, pero quería traer a Nestóreo a estar en armonía con la iglesia otra vez. Dejando el deseo de Casiano de traer Nestóreo hacia su concepto de la ortodoxia, Celestino entró en una unión con Cirilo en contra de Nestóreo y la iglesia de Antioquía de donde procedía. Un Sínodo en Roma en el año 430 d.C. condeno a Nestóreo, y Celestino le pidió a Cirilo que llevara a cabo los procedimientos en contra de él.Cirilo condenó Nestóreo en un sínodo en Alejandría y le envió un aviso con una carta de presentación listando 12 anatemas en contra de Nestóreo y cualquiera que estuviera en desacuerdo con la posición de Alejandría. Por ejemplo à "Si alguien no confiesa que Emmanuel es el verdadero Dios, y no reconoce a la Santísima Virgen como Theotokos, porque dio a luz la carne del Verbo de Dios hecho carne, que el sea anatema."Recibiendo la carta de Cirilo, Nestóreo humildemente renunció y se fue a una tranquila jubilación en una casa de retiro en Illyrium. à Uh, no exactamente. Siguiendo su modo normal de operar, Nestóreo ignoro el veredicto del Sínodo.El Emperador Teodosio II llamó un consejo general a reunirse en Éfeso en el año 431. Este Consejo es a veces es llamado el Sínodo de los Ladrones porque se convirtió en una sangrienta batalla por los partidarios de Cirilo. Los obispos reunidos en Éfeso, rápidamente se dieron cuenta que el Consejo estaba más enfocado en la política que en la teología. Esto no iba a ser un debate hablando sobre textos, palabras y gramática. Iba a ser un concurso físico. Vamos a resolver las disputas doctrinales con palos en lugar de libros.Cirilo y su pandilla de monjes egipcios armados con palos, y utilizo la palabra pandilla intencionadamente, tuvo el apoyo del obispo de Éfeso, Memnon, junto con la mayoría de los obispos de Asia. El Consejo comenzó el 22 de junio del año 431 d.C., con 153 obispos presentes. 40 más tarde dio su aprobación a sus conclusiones. Cirilo presidió sobre el evento. Nestóreo fue ordenado a asistir, pero sabía que era un asunto en su contra y se negaron a venir. Fue destituido y excomulgado. Éfeso se regocijó.El 26 de junio, Juan, obispo de Antioquía, junto con los obispos de Siria, que se habían retrasado, finalmente llegaron. Juan celebró un consejo rival compuesta de 43 obispos y representantes del emperador. Declaro a Cirilo & Memnon destituidos. Nuevas sesiones de consejos rivales añadieron al número de excomuniones.Un reporte le llegó al Emperador Teodosio II, y los representantes de ambos lados trajeron su caso ante el. El primer instinto de Teodosio era confirmar las sentencias de Cirilo, Memnon, y Nestóreo. Mejor deshacerse de todos ellos y los problemas que habían causado. Pero un espléndido regalo de Cirilo persuadió al Emperador a disolver el Consejo y enviar a Nestóreo al exilio. Un nuevo obispo de Constantinopla fue consagrado. Cirilo regresó en triunfo a Alejandría.Desde una perspectiva histórica, es lo que sucedió DESPUES del concilio de Éfeso, que fue mucho más importante. Juan de Antioquía envió a un representante a Alejandría con un credo que incluía las dos posiciones en un punto medio. Esto afirmó la dualidad de naturalezas, en contraste con la formulación de Cirilo, pero aceptó la Theotokos, a diferencia de Nestóreo. Este punto mediador anticipo decisiones que fueron alcanzadas en el próximo Consejo general de la iglesia en Calcedonia.Cirilo estuvo de acuerdo con el credo y la reunificación de las iglesias tomo lugar en el año 433. Desde entonces, los historiadores se han preguntado si Cirilo era un gran líder al aceptar el credo mediador o simplemente acepto cínicamente porque él había logrado su propósito real; al deshacerse de Nestóreo. De cualquier manera, el verdadero perdedor fue Nestóreo. Teodosio mando quemar sus libros, y muchos de los que habían estado de acuerdo con la teología de Nestóreo retiraron su apoyo.Aquellos que representaban su énfasis teológico siguieron llevando a cabo su trabajo en el este de Siria, convirtiéndose en lo que la historia llama a la Iglesia Oriental, un movimiento del evangelio que pronto veremos, alcanzó hasta el Océano Pacífico.Mientras estaba en el exilio, Nestóreo escribió un libro en el que exponia la historia de su vida y defendía su posición. Comentarios modernos de Nestóreo encuentran que fue mas cismático en temperamento que un hereje. Él negaba la herejía de la cual estaba acusado, que el humano Jesús y el divino Cristo eran 2 personas diferentes.Veinte años después del concilio de Éfeso, que muchos consideran un grave error, otro fue llamado en Calcedonia. Las enseñanzas de Nestóreo fueron declaradas herejías y fue oficialmente destituido. Aunque ya estaba en el exilio, fue desterrado ahora por un acto de la Iglesia en lugar del Emperador. En uno de esos datos curiosos de la historia, aunque lo que Nestóreo enseñaba acerca de Cristo fue rechazado, resultó ser la posición adoptada por el Credo que salió del Concilio de Calcedonia. Cuando le llegó a Nestóreo en el exilio la noticia de la conclusión del Consejo el dijo que solo habían ratificado lo que él siempre había creído y enseñado.Hay mucho que aprender de esta historia de conflicto y resolución.En primer lugar, muchas de las doctrinas que damos por sentado como parte integral de la fe cristiana ortodoxa, surgieron a través una gran lucha y muchos debates de algunas de las mentes más brillantes que la historia ha conocido. A veces, esas ideas eran populares y las seguían porque eran convenientes. Pero la política no puede sostener una idea falsa. Siempre hay fieles, hombres y mujeres que aman la verdad, porque es verdad, y no porque les va a ganar poder, influencia o ventaja. Pueden sufrir a manos de los corruptos por una temporada, pero siempre prevaleciendo al final.Deberíamos estar agradecidos, no sólo con Dios por darnos la verdad en su Palabra y el Espíritu para comprenderla, pero también por las personas que estaban dispuestas a un gran costo para ellos mismos pasar peligros para asegurarse que la verdad prevaleciera sobre el error.Segundo, muchas veces, la gente mira hacia atrás a la "Iglesia Primitiva" y asume que fue un tiempo maravilloso de dulce armonía. La vida era sencilla, todos estaban de acuerdo y nunca nadie se peleaba. ¡No fue así!¿No han leído la Biblia? Los discípulos siempre estaban discutiendo sobre quién era el mayor. Pablo y Bernabé tuvieron una separación por causa de Juan Marcos. Pablo tuvo que ponerse en la cara de Pedro cuando empezó a actuar como hipócrita.Sí, claro, en el libro de Hechos leemos acerca de un breve periodo de tiempo cuando el amor de la congregación era tan extraordinario que sacudió a la ciudad de Jerusalén hasta lo mas profundo y resulto en muchos viniendo a la fe. Pero eso fue sólo un breve momento que pronto paso.Dios quiere que su pueblo este en unidad. La verdadera unidad, en la verdad del Evangelio, es una potente y increíble prueba de nuestra fe. Pero la idea de que la Iglesia primitiva era una Edad de Oro de la unidad es una ficción. El libro de Philip Jenkins sobre la batalla sobre la Cristología del 4º y 5º siglo. es titulado, Las Guerras sobre Jesús.La Iglesia en su totalidad tendría un enfoque mejor hoy en día, en la búsqueda de la unidad. Con cada congregación local centrando sus esfuerzos en amar y servirse los unos a los otros a través del poder del Espíritu. Es inevitable si se destacaban en hacerlo, empezarían a ver a todas las iglesias y los creyentes de la misma manera, y la unidad sería real en lugar de ser un programa con una fecha de inicio y final o una campaña basada en personalidades y publicidad.Oye, ahora que lo pienso, eso es lo que COMENZO ese breve momento glorioso de armonía en Jerusalén entre los seguidores de Jesús, que se amaron y sirvieron los unos a los otros en el poder del Espíritu. Nos vemos la próxima vez.

Dessutom diskuteras The Rocks charm (eller brist på det), Kelly Hus strategiska hår och Peter Tuiasosopos smak när det kommer till damer. Mycket nöje! The Scorpion King (2002): För 5 000 år sedan tror krigsherren Memnon att det är hans öde att styra över öknens splittrade folkstammar. Med en armé av barbarer sveper han fram och dödar alla i sin väg, och förslavar överlevande.

The twin Egyptian statues erected by Amenophis III were already ancient relics when Roman travelers visited them in the first century CE. One stood tall and unconquered by some 1400 years of sun and sand, the other lay toppled by a recent earthquake. The Romans mistakenly called them the Colossi of Memnon, and inscribed proof of their visit on the legs of the toppled colossus -- because it spoke to them.

In the last couple episodes we've set the scene for the Council of Ephesus in 431. Last time we did biographies of the two main players at the Council, Nestorius and Cyril.We ended with a brief review of their different Christologies; that is, how they viewed the dual nature of Christ as God & Man. Let's pick it up now with the events leading to the Council.While Cyril was experienced in the art of ecclesiastical politics and had the support of the, what shall we call them? Let's go with, pugilistic monks of Egypt at his back, Nestorius was more of a Donald Trump figure who eschewed politics in favor of a “My Way or the Highway attitude.  Not long after arriving at his new gig as Patriarch of the Capital church at Constantinople, Nestorius entered the fray of theological controversy by weighing in on THE discussion of the day è How to describe the dual nature of Jesus. As the de-facto standard bearer of Antiochan theology, he pointedly refuted the position of Alexandrian Christology, championed by Cyril. Alexandrians referred to Mary as Theotokos, a term which is literally translated as “Bearer of God” but which had come to mean, “Mother of God.” Nestorius' Christology aimed to keep the two natures of Christ distinct and considered this label for Mary misleading. Mary was the vessel through which the Divine Son of God, became human and the Son of Man. He preferred the title Christotokos. God is eternal, and any attempt to say God was born of Mary seemed to Nestorius to re-open a door to Arianism, since Arians had said there was a time when the Son of God did not exist. In the ensuing discussions, when the Alexandrians rejected his suggestion of Christotokos, Nestorius said  he would consent to the title Theotokos for Mary if they would add the title Anthropotokos. That way Mary would be called the “Mother of God & Man.”In 429, while sitting in his study in Alexandria, word reached Cyril of the discussions his supporters had had with Nestorius on the issue of Mary's title. When he heard the Patriarch of Constantinople had rejected the sole designation Theotokos, he was furious and sent off a heated letter calling for Nestorius to change his views. Nestorius wasn't the kind of person to kowtow to another, especially not the standard bearer of Alexandrian theology. He sent back and equally heated reply. And that elicited an angry retort from Cyril, which called out another barbed response from Nestorius. And so the missiles flew on parchment wings.Both men then appealed to Pope Celestine in Rome. His response was to assemble a hasty a synod in Rome in 430 that took next to no time deciding to support the title Theotokos for Mary, against Nestorius' position. Delighted the West had backed him, Cyril penned a long letter to Nestorius demanding he cease & desist his teaching and recant his position on the natures of Christ. This letter was more of a tome that included a dozen deliberately provocative anathemas; a formal curse by a pope or Church council, meant either to excommunicate someone or denounce a doctrine.As the Patriarch of the Church at Alexandria, that is, it's head bishop, Cyril had no authority to issue these anathemas. An anathema was an official ruling by the Church that said anyone who supported that which had been anathematized was consigned to hell. So when anathemas were issued, they were published far & wide. That's why Cyril penned them. He didn't aim to correct Nestorius. He wanted to destroy him. At least several of the 12 anathemas were gross distortions of Nestorius' position. But Cyril wasn't interested in accuracy. This was political theater. He aimed to carve away from his opponent any modicum of support. The anathemas made it look like Nestorius held t some cray-cray ideas about Jesus. And of course, Cyril didn't just send the letter to Nestorius; he posted it in his blog for all to see. When the Emperor Theodosius heard of it, he hastily called a meeting in June or 431. That became the First Council of Ephesus. It was High Noon between Nestorius and Cyril.From the outset, the entire thing was tilted in Cyril's favor. The council was originally set for Constantinople, but Theodosius' sister, Pulcheria, had it moved Ephesus.Ah, Pulcheria! There was a woman, and one more major personality thrown into the mix that was the train wreck of The Council of Ephesus.Pulcheria was the oldest surviving child of Emperor Arcadius and his wife, Empress Eudoxia. Eudoxia played a major role in the governing of the Eastern Empire alongside her husband. She cultivated her own political & religious party in the Byzantine court that had significant influence in both church and government matters. John Chrysostom and she had a long feud that saw him cast as the champion of the common people against her ostentatious displays of luxury and power. John was alternately banished and recalled during their feud.Pulcheria was every bit her mother's daughter in terms of her savvy use of position at court. When her father & mother passed, leaving her 7 yr old brother Theodosius II too young to rule, she became the de facto Empress as a placeholder till he turned 15. Even after, she continued to have a significant role in steering her brother's policies.Pulcheria eschewed her mother's luxurious fashions in favor of a more sedate wardrobe. No one doubted her devotion to the Lord either. Under her rule the Imperial palace took on the flavor of a monastery; with regular times for prayers and fasting. She resisted her brother's appointment of Nestorius as Patriarch and saw the brewing controversy with Cyril over the nature of Jesus as an opportunity to get rid of him. Being the political bumbler Nestorius was, he made matters worse by impugning the popular virgin Empress Pulcheria's reputation by accusing her of having illicit lovers, removing her image from above the altar and refusing the use of one of her robes as an altar cover.She backed Cyril, and convinced her brother to have the Council moved it to Ephesus. There was a popular shrine to Mary near the city, with many Ephesians devoted to her. Pulcheria knew Ephesus would be far more friendly to Cyril and his pals than Nestorius and his.When the council finally gathered in June of 431 in Ephesus, some 250 bishops were in attendance. The Emperor didn't attend, sending as his representatives, Candidian, head of his imperial guard. Candidian's job was to ensure order and to officially opening & closing the Council under the Emperor's authority.The bishops trickled into Ephesus over several weeks. While waiting for the rest to get there, they did what work they could in the hope of making the work of the Council when it convened more efficient. It quickly became clear the two sides were at utter odds. Memnon, bishop of Ephesus, was of course already there of course, with 52 supporting bishops. Nestorius and his 16 bishops arrived first, escorted by Candidian and his troops. This set the Ephesians on edge, as they assumed Candidian's presence was in support of Nestorius, though Theodosius had instructed him to remain strictly neutral. Knowing he had the support of the locals, Memnon sent out a covert word for people to be on their toes and that they might be needed to act as a deterrent to Candidian's force. Memnon then closed the churches of the City to Nestorius.Cyril then arrived with 50 bishops. There were no Western bishops present. The papal representatives didn't arrive till July. A Palestinian delegation of 16 bishops arrived several days after the Council was set to open.During the discussions that took place before the Council, Nestorius claimed Cyril's theology did damage to a right understanding of Jesus as God. Remember that Cyril's Christology said Jesus deity totally overwhelmed His humanity. Nestorius fired back that if Jesus' divinity effectively negated His humanity, then Cyril would have to worship a God who was only 2 or 3 months old. By this he meant if Mary was Theotokos, mother of God, then she was mother of all His fullness, which is absurd. Cyril's supporters seized on this to paint Nestorius as a heretic. They accused him of being an adoptionist, that is of saying Christ was a man God made divine. That charge resonated with many since it was from Nestorius' hometown of Antioch that Paul of Samosata originally postulated Adoptionism, a heresy which had already been banned.The Ephesians glommed onto the charge of heresy and threatened bishops friendly to Nestorius. Several abandoned him for Cyril's side. When I say these bishops were threatened, I mean with physical violence, bodily harm.When Cyril announced the council's opening, Candidian stopped him, saying the Roman and Antiochean delegations hadn't arrived. Cyril had to comply since the Council's opening couldn't happen with Candidian's authorization from the Emperor.As we've already seen, there really wasn't going to be a Roman delegation; just a handful of representatives form the Pope who were instructed by him not to participate in the discussions. Celestine had already ruled on the issue and wasn't going to have his decision debated. His reps were there just as observers who'd report back to him. The delegation from Antioch was another matter. Antioch's bishop John knew which way the political winds blew and understood that Nestorius was likely to be declared a heretic. He did not want to be part of a Council that did so. So he delayed his arrival.On June 22nd, 2 weeks after the Council was supposed to open, John and his 42 bishops still had not arrived. As president of the meeting, Cyril opened proceedings.Despite 3 summons, Nestorius refused to acknowledge Cyril's authority as president. He also protested the Council's convening without the Antiocheans.  68 other bishops protested the Council's opening & entered the church in protest. Then Candidian arrived and declared the assembly illegal. He asked Cyril to wait 4 more days for the Syrians to arrive. But, seeing that even the protesting bishops were now present, Cyril tricked Candidian into reading the Emperor's decree of convocation. Candidian just thought he was TELLING the assembly what it said, not actually convening the Council. But Cyril latched  onto the reading and made it the basis for the commencement of proceedings.John and the Syrians  bishops finally arrived 5 days later. Candidian informed them the Council had already commenced and had ratified Pope Celestine's declaration of Nestorius as a heretic. Angered at having taken such a long and difficult journey only to be ignored, the Antiocheans held their own Council with Candidian presiding. This council condemned Cyril for espousing heretical views and condemned Bishop Memnon for inciting violence. Both Cyril and Memnon. Were deposed and at first, the Emperor accepted the actions of this alternative Ephesian Council. He later reversed course and endorsed the findings of the Council led by Cyril.A couple weeks passed as the bishops who'd been in attendance at the first Council tried to decide what to do. That's when the Papal reps arrived. So on July 10th, a meeting was held in Memnon's house where the Pope's letter and condemnation of Nestorius as a heretic was re-read and re-approved.They met again the next day to compose a letter to the Emperor rehearsing what they'd done and why. It contained words from the Pope calling on him to enforce the Church's decisions.The bishops took a few days off, then met again to condemn John & the Syrians for holding their own Council.  They were summoned to appear the next day. John didn't only not appear, he put up a placard in the city announcing that Cyril and his supporters were heretics. So the bishops excommunicated John and 34 of his bishops.When the Emperor received the letter from the Council, he backed away from his earlier acceptance of The Syrians counter-council finding. Nestorius was deposed and sent into exile, where he attempted to rally support against Cyril with his own unsuccessful council. Because Nestorius did have supporters among Constantinople's nobility, Cyril was imprisoned for a spell. But he returned to his office as Patriarch of Alexandria, where for the next 2 decades his Christology dominated the theology of the Empire.Sympathizers & supporters were now declared by the canons of the Ephesian Council as heretics. They fled the Empire for the environs of Mesopotamia and Persia, where they established themselves in a burgeoning intellectual center at Nisibis. The Persian church honored Nestorius and eventually separated itself from the West when the Persian Empire clashed with the Eastern Roman Empire.Over the next few centuries, Nestorian missionaries planted churches in Iran, India, Central Asia, and all the way to the Far East of China. So, the decision at Ephesus ended up leading to the expansion of Christianity.As we said at the outset of this series on the Council of Ephesus, the political squabbling of the Church at this point is simply atrocious. When denominations differ on theological issues, they mustn't look to Ephesus as an example of how to handle them. If anything, they ought to be warned BY them.Fortunately, church leaders realized Ephesus was a bad deal and made moves a couple decades later to set things right at Chalcedon.So, was Nestorius a heretic? After all the shenanigans surrounding the Council, was that verdict the correct one?While there are aspects of later Nestorianism that are aberrant, the theology espoused by Nestorius himself was sound. He may not have stated it as well as others later did, but he in effect believed the same thing. In fact, later, from exile, when he read the formulae of other's orthodox Christology, he said that's what he'd always believed.Cyril's Christology, on the other hand ended up leading to the error of monophysitism; the belief that in the Incarnation Jesus single nature as God utterly overwhelmed His humanity, sending it into a kind of spiritual coma.

The title of this episode is, “Can't We All Just Get Along?”In our last episode, we began our look at how the Church of the 4th & 5th Cs attempted to describe the Incarnation. Once the Council of Nicaea affirmed Jesus' deity, along with His humanity, Church leaders were left with the task of finding just the right words to describe WHO Jesus was. If He was both God & Man as The Nicaean Creed said, how did these two natures relate to one another?We looked at how the churches at Alexandria & Antioch differed in their approaches to understanding & teaching the Bible. Though Alexandria was recognized as a center of scholarship, the church at Antioch kept producing church leaders who were drafted to fill the role of lead bishop at Constantinople, the political center of the Eastern Empire. While Rome was the undisputed lead church in the West, Alexandria, Antioch & Constantinople vied with each other over who would take the lead in the East. But the real contest was between Alexandria in Egypt & Antioch in Syria.The contest between the two cities & their churches became clear during the time of John Chrysostom from Antioch & Theophilus, lead bishop at Alexandria. Because of John's reputation as a premier preacher, he was drafted to become Bishop at Constantinople. But John's criticisms of the decadence of the wealthy, along with his refusal to tone down his chastisement of the Empress, caused him to fall out of favor. I guess you can be a great preacher, just so long as you don't turn your skill against people in power. Theophilus was jealous of Chrysostom's promotion from Antioch to the capital and used the political disfavor growing against him to call a synod at which John was disposed from office as Patriarch of Constantinople.That was like Round 1 of the sparring match between Alexandria and Antioch. Round 2 and the deciding round came next in the contest between 2 men; Cyril & Nestorius.Cyril was Theophilus' nephew & attended his uncle at the Synod of the Oak at which Chrysostom was condemned. Cyril learned his lessons well and applied them with even greater ferocity in taking down his opponent, Nestorius.Before we move on with these 2, I need to back-track some & bore the bejeebers out of you for a bit.Warning: Long, hard to pronounce, utterly forgettable word Alert.Remember è The big theological issue at the forefront of everyone's mind during this time was how to understand Jesus.Okay, we got it: àThe Nicaean Creed's been accepted as basic Christian doctrine.The Cappadocian Fathers have given us the right formula for understanding the Trinity.There's 1 God in 3 persons; Father, Son & Holy Spirit.Now, on to the next thing: Jesus is God and Man. How does that work? Is He 2 persons or 1? Does He have 1 nature or 2? And if 2, how do those natures relate to one another?A couple ideas were floated to resolve the issue but came up short; Apollinarianism and Eutychianism.Apollinaris of Laodicea lived in the 4th C.  A defender of the Nicene Creed, he said in Jesus the divine Logos replaced His human soul. Jesus had a human body in which dwelled a divine spirit. Our longtime friend Athanasius led the synod of Alexandria in 362 to condemn this view but didn't specifically name Apollinaris. 20 Yrs later, the Council of Constantinople did just that. Gregory of Nazianzus supplied the decisive argument against Apollinarianism saying, “What was not assumed was not healed” meaning, for the entire of body, soul, and spirit of a person to be saved, Jesus Christ must have taken on a complete human nature.Eutyches was a, how to describe him; elderly-elder, a senior leader, an aged-monk in Constantinople who advocated one nature for Jesus. Eutychianism said that while in the Incarnation Jesus was both God & man, His divine nature totally overwhelmed his human nature, like a drop of vinegar is lost in the sea.Those who maintained the dual-nature of Jesus as wholly God and wholly Man are called dyophysites.  Those advocating a single-nature are called Monophysites.What happened between Cyril & Nestorius is this . . .Nestorius was an elder and head of a monastery in Antioch when the emperor Theodosius II chose him to be Bishop of Constantinople in 428.Now, what I'm about to say some will find hard to swallow, but while Nestorius's name became associated with one of the major heresies to split the church, the error he's accused of he most likely wasn't guilty of. What Nestorius was guilty of was being a jerk. His story is typical for several of the men who were picked to lead the church at Constantinople during the 4th through 7th Cs; effective preachers but lousy administrators & seriously lacking in people skills. Look, if you're going to be pegged to lead the Church at the Political center of the Empire, you better be a savvy political operator, as well as a man of moral & ethical excellence. A heavy dose of tact ought to have been a pre-requisite. But guys kept getting selected who came to the Capital on a campaign to clean house. And many of them seem to have thought subtlety was the devil's tool.As soon as Nestorius arrived in Constantinople, he started a harsh campaign against heretics, meaning anyone with whom he disagreed. It wouldn't take long before his enemies accused him of the very thing he accused others of. But in their case, their accusations were born of jealousy.Where they deiced to take offense was when Nestorius balked at the use of the word Theotokos. The word means God-bearer, and was used by the church at Alexandria for the mother of Jesus. While the Alexandrians said they rejected Apollinarianism, they, in fact, emphasized the divine nature of Jesus, saying it overwhelmed His human nature. The Alexandrian bishop, Cyril, was once again jealous of the Antiochan Nestorius' selection as bishop for the Capital. As his uncle Theophilus had taken advantage of Chrysostom's disfavor to get him deposed, Cyril laid plans for removing the tactless & increasingly unpopular Nestorius. The battle over the word Theotokos became the flashpoint of controversy, the crack Cyril needed to pry Nestorius from his position.To supporters of the Alexandrian theology, Theotokos seemed entirely appropriate for Mary. They said she DID bear God when Jesus took flesh in her womb. And to deny it was to deny the deity of Christ!Nestorius and his many supporters were concerned the title “Theotokos” made Mary a goddess. Nestorius maintained that Mary was the mother of the man Who was united with the divine Logos, and nothing should be said that might imply she was the “Mother à of God.” Nestorius preferred the title Christokos; Mary was the Christ-bearer. But he lacked a vocabulary and the theological sophistication to relate the divine and human natures of Jesus in a convincing way.Cyril, on the other hand, argued convincingly for his position from the Scriptures. In 429, Cyril defended the term Theotokos. His key text was John 1: 14, “The Word became flesh.” I'd love to launch into a detailed description of the nuanced debate between Cyril and Nestorius over the nature of Christ but it would leave most, including myself, no more clued in than we are now.Suffice it to say, Nestorius maintained the dual-nature-in-the-one-person of Christ while Cyril stuck to the traditional Alexandrian line and said while Jesus was technically 2 natures, human & divine, the divine overwhelmed the human so that He effectively operated as God in a physical body.Where this came down to a heated debate was over the question of whether or not Jesus really suffered in His passion. Nestorius said that the MAN Jesus suffered but not His divine nature, while Cyril said the divine nature did indeed suffer.When the Roman Bishop Celestine learned of the dispute between Cyril and Nestorius, he selected a churchman named John Cassian to respond to Nestorius. He did so in his work titled On the Incarnation in 430. Cassian sided with Cyril but wanted to bring Nestorius back into harmony. Setting aside Cassian's hope to bring Nestorius into his conception of orthodoxy, Celestine entered a union with Cyril against Nestorius and the church at Antioch he'd come from. A synod at Rome in 430 condemned Nestorius, and Celestine asked Cyril to conduct proceedings against him.Cyril condemned Nestorius at a Synod in Alexandria and sent him a notice with a cover letter listing 12 anathemas against Nestorius and anyone else who disagreed with the Alexandrian position. For example à “If anyone does not confess Emmanuel to be very God, and does not acknowledge the Holy Virgin to be Theotokos, for she brought forth after the flesh the Word of God become flesh, let him be anathema.”Receiving the letter from Cyril, Nestorius humbly resigned and left for a quiet retirement at Leisure Village in Illyrium. à Uh, not quite. True to form, Nestorius ignored the Synod's verdict.Emperor Theodosius II called a general council to meet at Ephesus in 431. This Council is sometimes called the Robber's Synod because it turned into a bloody romp by Cyril's supporters. As the bishops gathered in Ephesus, it quickly became evident the Council was far more concerned with politics than theology. This wasn't going to be a sedate debate over texts, words & grammar. It was going to be a physical contest. Let's settle doctrinal disputes with clubs instead of books.Cyril and his posse of club-wielding Egyptian monks, and I use the word posse purposefully, had the support of the Ephesian bishop, Memnon, along with the majority of the bishops from Asia. The council began on June 22, 431, with 153 bishops present. 40 more later gave their assent to the findings. Cyril presided. Nestorius was ordered to attend but knew it was a rigged affair and refused to show. He was deposed and excommunicated. Ephesus rejoiced.On June 26, John, bishop of Antioch, along with the Syrian bishops, all of whom had been delayed, finally arrived. John held a rival council consisting of 43 bishops and the Emperor's representative. They declared Cyril & Memnon deposed. Further sessions of rival councils added to the number of excommunications.A report reached Theodosius II, and representatives of both sides pled their case. Theodosius's first instinct was to confirm the depositions of Cyril, Memnon, & Nestorius. Be done with the lot of them. But a lavish gift from Cyril persuaded the Emperor to dissolve the Council and send Nestorius into exile. A new bishop for Constantinople was consecrated. Cyril returned in triumph to Alexandria.From a historical perspective, it's what happened AFTER the Council of Ephesus that was far more important. John of Antioch sent a representative to Alexandria with a compromise creed. This asserted the duality of natures, in contrast to Cyril's formulation, but accepted the Theotokos, in contrast to Nestorius. This compromise anticipated decisions to be reached at the next general church Council at Chalcedon.Cyril agreed to the creed and a reunion of the churches took place in 433. Since then, historians have asked if Cyril was being a statesman in agreeing to the compromise or did he just cynically accept it because he'd achieved his real purpose; getting rid of Nestorius. Either way, the real loser was Nestorius. Theodosius had his books burned, and many who agreed with Nestorius's theology dropped their support.Those who represented his theological emphases continued to carry on their work in eastern Syria, becoming what History calls the Church of the East, a movement of the Gospel we'll soon see that reached all the way to the Pacific Ocean.While in exile, Nestorius wrote a book that set forth the story of his life and defended his position. Modern reviews of Nestorius find him to be more of a schismatic in temperament than a heretic. He denied the heresy of which he was accused, that the human Jesus and the divine Christ were 2 different persons.20 yrs after the Council of Ephesus, which many regarded as a grave mistake, another was called at Chalcedon. Nestorius' teaching was declared heretical and he was officially deposed. Though already in exile, he was now banished by an act of the Church rather than Emperor. In one of those odd facts of history, though what Nestorius taught about Christ was declaimed, it turned out to be the position adopted by the Creed that came out of the Council of Chalcedon. When word reached Nestorius in exile of the Council's finding he said they'd only ratified what he'd always believed & taught.There's much to learn from this story of conflict and resolution.First, many of the doctrines we take for granted as being part and parcel of the orthodox Christian faith, came about through great struggle and debate of some of the most brilliant minds history's known. Sometimes, those ideas were popular and ruled because they were expedient. But mere politics can't sustain a false idea. There are always faithful men and women who love truth because it's true, not because it will gain them power, influence or advantage. They may suffer at the hands of the corrupt for a season, but they always prevail in the end.We ought to be thankful, not only to God for giving us the truth in His Word and the Spirit to understand it, but also to the people who at great cost were willing to hazard themselves to make sure Truth prevailed over error.Second, Too often, people look back on the “Early Church” and assume it was a wonderful time of sweet harmony. Life was simple, everyone agreed and no one ever argued. Hardly!Good grief. Have they read the Bible? The disciples were forever arguing over who was greatest. Paul & Barnabas had a falling out over John Mark. Paul had to get in Peter's face when he played the hypocrite.Yes, for sure, in Acts we read about a brief period of time when the love of the fellowship was so outstanding it shook the people of Jerusalem to the core and resulted in many coming to faith. But that was only a brief moment that soon passed.God wants His people to be in unity. True unity, under the truth of the Gospel, is an incredibly powerful proof of our Faith. But the idea that the Early Church was a Golden Age of Unity is a fiction. Philip Jenkins' book on the battle over the Christology of the 4th & 5th Cs. is titled Jesus Wars.The Church as a whole would be better served today in its pursuit of unity if each local congregation focused its primary efforts on loving and serving one another through the power of the Spirit. It's inevitable if they excelled at that, they'd begin looking at all churches and believers in the same way, and unity would be real rather than a program with a start & end date or a campaign based on personalities and hype.Hey - come to think of it, that's what DID bring about that short glorious moment of blissful harmony in Jerusalem among the followers of Jesus – they loved and served one another in the power of the Spirit.

El título de este episodio es, "¿Porque no podemos llevarnos bien?"En nuestro último episodio comenzamos a mirar cómo la Iglesia del 4º y 5º siglo intentó describir la Encarnación. Una vez que el concilio de Nicea afirmó la deidad de Jesús, junto con su humanidad, los líderes de la Iglesia se quedaron con la tarea de encontrar las palabras adecuadas para describir quién era Jesús. Si él era Dios y Hombre, como el Credo Nicea decía, ¿cómo se relacionaban estas dos naturalezas una con la otra?Hemos estudiado cómo las iglesias de Alejandría y Antioquía eran diferentes en sus enfoques en como comprender y enseñar la Biblia. Aunque Alejandría era reconocida como un centro de enseñanza, la iglesia en Antioquía seguía produciendo líderes de la iglesia que fueron llamados a tomar la posición tan importante de Obispo de Constantinopla, en el centro político del Imperio de Oriente. Mientras que Roma era indiscutiblemente la iglesia principal en el Oeste, Alejandría, Antioquía y Constantinopla competían entre sí sobre quién tomaría la iniciativa en el Oriente. Pero la verdadera contienda era entre Alejandría en Egipto y Antioquía de Siria.La disputa entre las dos ciudades y sus iglesias se hizo evidente durante la época de Juan Crisóstomo de Antioquía y Teófilo, Obispo principal de Alejandría. Por la gran reputación de Juan como un predicador fenomenal, fue escogido para ser Obispo en Constantinopla. Pero las críticas de Juan hacia la decadencia de los ricos, junto con que se rehusaba a moderar sus llamadas de atención hacia las acciones de la Emperatriz, lo hizo caer fuera de favor. Supongo que puedes ser un gran predicador, tanto que no enfoques tu predicación hacia las personas en el poder. Teófilo estaba celoso de la promoción de Crisóstomo de Antioquía a la capital y utilizó el clima político en contra de Juan para llamar a un sínodo en el cual Juan fue destituido de su posición como Patriarca de Constantinopla.Este fue como la primera ronda del match en la pelea entre Alejandría y Antioquía. La segunda ronda 2 y la ronda decisiva fue el siguiente paso en la contienda entre 2 hombres; Cirilo & Nestóreo.Cirilo era el sobrino de Teófilo y asistió a su tío en el Sínodo del Encino en el cual Juan Crisóstomo fue condenado. Cirilo aprendido bien sus lecciones y las aplico con mayor ferocidad para derribar a su oponente, Nestóreo.Antes de proceder con estos 2, necesito retroceder un poco y aburrirlos grandemente con unos detalles técnicos.Advertencia: Alerta a continuación, verán palabras largas, difíciles de pronunciar, y absolutamente olvidables.Recuerden è La gran cuestión teológica en la mente de todos durante este tiempo era cómo entender a Jesús.Bueno, lo entendemos:Nicea à El Credo ha sido aceptada como doctrina cristiana básica.Los Padres Capadocios nos han dado la fórmula correcta para comprender la Trinidad.Hay 1 Dios en 3 personas: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.Ahora, a lo siguiente: Jesús es Dios y hombre. ¿Cómo funciona esto? ¿Es 2 personas o 1? ¿Tiene 1 naturaleza o 2? Y SI 2, ¿cómo se relacionan las naturalezas la una a la otra?Un par de ideas estaban flotando para resolver el problema, pero se quedaron cortos; fueron Eutiquianismo y Apolinarismo.Apolinar de Laodicea vivió en el 4º siglo. El fue un defensor del Credo de Nicea, decía que en Jesús el Logos divino sustituyó el alma humana. Jesús tuvo un cuerpo humano en el cual habitaba un espíritu divino. Nuestro viejo amigo Atanasio condujo el sínodo de Alejandría en el año 362 para condenar este punto de vista, pero no nombro específicamente a Apolinar. Veinte años más tarde, el Concilio de Constantinopla hizo justamente eso. Gregorio Nacianceno dio el argumento decisivo en contra del Apolinarismo diciendo, "Lo que no se asume no fue sanado" que significa, que para que la totalidad del cuerpo, alma y espíritu de una persona sean salvos, Jesucristo debió haber tomado una naturaleza humana completa.Eutiques fue, cómo describirlo... un anciano-Anciano, un líder importante, un anciano monje en Constantinopla, que aboga por una naturaleza para Jesús. El Eutiquianismo decía que aunque en la encarnación, Jesús era Dios y hombre, su naturaleza divina totalmente había abrumado su naturaleza humana, como una gota de vinagre se pierde en el mar.Los que mantenían la doble naturaleza de Jesús como totalmente Dios y totalmente hombre seguían al Diofisismo. Aquellos que defendían una sola naturaleza seguían al Monofisismo.Lo que sucedió entre Cirilo y Nestóreo fue esto . . .Nestóreo fue un anciano y encargado de un monasterio en Antioquía cuando el Emperador Teodosio II lo eligió para ser Obispo de Constantinopla en el año 428.Ahora, lo que estoy a punto de decir algunas personas lo encontrarán difícil de digerir, pero mientras Nestóreo se asoció con el nombre de una de las principales herejías que dividio a la iglesia, probablemente no fue culpable el error del cual es acusado. Lo que Nestóreo si era culpable era de ser necio y insensato. Su historia fue típica de varios de los hombres que fueron elegidos para dirigir la iglesia de Constantinopla del 4º al 7º siglo; predicadores eficaces pero pésimos administradores y con graves carencias en tratar con la gente. Miren, si van a estar elegidos para dirigir a la Iglesia en el centro político del imperio, es mejor que sean expertos operadores políticos, así como un hombre de una moral y ética de excelencia. También una fuerte dosis de tacto debería haber sido un pre-requisito. Pero desafortunadamente los seleccionados llegaron a la capital en una campaña de limpiar casa. Y muchos de ellos parecen haber pensado que la sutileza era una herramienta del diablo.Tan pronto como llegó Nestóreo a Constantinopla, comenzó una dura campaña en contra de los herejes, y los herejes eran cualquiera con el cual el no estaba de acuerdo. No tardo mucho en que sus enemigos lo acusaran de lo mismo que el acusaba a los demás. Pero en su caso, las acusaciones, eran nacidas de la envidia.Donde decidieron tomar ofensa fue cuando Nestóreo rechazo el uso de la palabra "Theotókos". La palabra significa Portador de Dios, y fue utilizado por la iglesia de Alejandría para la madre de Jesús. Mientras que los de Alejandría rechazaban el Apolinarismo, hacian hincapié en la naturaleza divina de Jesús, diciendo que sobrellevaba su naturaleza humana. El obispo de Alejandría, Cirilo, fue aun más celoso porque habían escogido a Nestóreo de Antioquia como obispo de la Capital. De la misma manera que su tío Teófilo había tomado ventaja de la desgracia de Crisóstomo para destituirlo, Cirilo planeo como destruir al cada vez más impopular Nestóreo. La batalla en torno a la palabra "Theotókos", se convirtió en el punto de controversia, la grieta necesaria para que Cirilo quitara a Nestóreo de su posición.A los que apoyaban la teología Alejandrina, Theotokos parecía enteramente apropiada para María. Decían que ella si Portaba a Dios cuando Jesús se encarnó en su vientre. ¡Y negarlo era negar la deidad de Cristo!Nestóreo y sus muchos seguidores estaban preocupados que el título de "Theotokos" haría a María una diosa. Nestóreo sostuvo que María fue la madre del hombre que estaba unido con el Logos divino, y nada debe decirse que podría implicar que ella era la "Madre àde Dios".  Nestóreo prefiera el título Cristokos; María fue la Portadora de Cristo. Pero carecía de un vocabulario y la sofisticación teológica para relacionar las naturalezas humana y divina de Jesús de una manera convincente.Cirilo, por otro lado, argumento de una manera convincente, su posición desde las Escrituras. En el año 429, Cirilo defendió el término Theotókos. Su texto clave fue Juan 1:14, "El Verbo se hizo carne". Me encantaría lanzarme a una descripción detallada de las facetas de la discusión entre Cirilo y Nestóreo sobre la naturaleza de Cristo, pero creo que dejaría a la mayoría, incluyéndome a mi, sin entender mucho mas de lo que sabemos ahora.Baste decir, Nestóreo mantuvo la doble naturaleza-en-una-persona de Cristo mientras que Cirilo tomo la línea tradicional de Alejandría y dijo que mientras Jesús tenia técnicamente dos naturalezas humana y divina, la divina abrumaba a la humana, de modo que efectivamente operaba como Dios en un cuerpo físico.El punto en que este debate se calento fue sobre la cuestión de que si realmente Jesús sufrió o no en su pasión en la cruz. Nestóreo decía que el hombre Jesús sufrió, pero no su naturaleza divina, mientras que Cirilo decía que la naturaleza divina si verdaderamente sufrió.Cuando el obispo Romano Celestino se enteró de la controversia entre Cirilo y Nestóreo, seleccionó a un hombre de la iglesia llamado Juan Casiano para responder a Nestóreo. Lo hizo en su obra titulada Sobre la Encarnación en el año 430 d.C. Casiano tomo el lado de Cirilo, pero quería traer a Nestóreo a estar en armonía con la iglesia otra vez. Dejando el deseo de Casiano de traer Nestóreo hacia su concepto de la ortodoxia, Celestino entró en una unión con Cirilo en contra de Nestóreo y la iglesia de Antioquía de donde procedía. Un Sínodo en Roma en el año 430 d.C. condeno a Nestóreo, y Celestino le pidió a Cirilo que llevara a cabo los procedimientos en contra de él.Cirilo condenó Nestóreo en un sínodo en Alejandría y le envió un aviso con una carta de presentación listando 12 anatemas en contra de Nestóreo y cualquiera que estuviera en desacuerdo con la posición de Alejandría. Por ejemplo à "Si alguien no confiesa que Emmanuel es el verdadero Dios, y no reconoce a la Santísima Virgen como Theotokos, porque dio a luz la carne del Verbo de Dios hecho carne, que el sea anatema."Recibiendo la carta de Cirilo, Nestóreo humildemente renunció y se fue a una tranquila jubilación en una casa de retiro en Illyrium. à Uh, no exactamente. Siguiendo su modo normal de operar, Nestóreo ignoro el veredicto del Sínodo.El Emperador Teodosio II llamó un consejo general a reunirse en Éfeso en el año 431. Este Consejo es a veces es llamado el Sínodo de los Ladrones porque se convirtió en una sangrienta batalla por los partidarios de Cirilo. Los obispos reunidos en Éfeso, rápidamente se dieron cuenta que el Consejo estaba más enfocado en la política que en la teología. Esto no iba a ser un debate hablando sobre textos, palabras y gramática. Iba a ser un concurso físico. Vamos a resolver las disputas doctrinales con palos en lugar de libros.Cirilo y su pandilla de monjes egipcios armados con palos, y utilizo la palabra pandilla intencionadamente, tuvo el apoyo del obispo de Éfeso, Memnon, junto con la mayoría de los obispos de Asia. El Consejo comenzó el 22 de junio del año 431 d.C., con 153 obispos presentes. 40 más tarde dio su aprobación a sus conclusiones. Cirilo presidió sobre el evento. Nestóreo fue ordenado a asistir, pero sabía que era un asunto en su contra y se negaron a venir. Fue destituido y excomulgado. Éfeso se regocijó.El 26 de junio, Juan, obispo de Antioquía, junto con los obispos de Siria, que se habían retrasado, finalmente llegaron. Juan celebró un consejo rival compuesta de 43 obispos y representantes del emperador. Declaro a Cirilo & Memnon destituidos. Nuevas sesiones de consejos rivales añadieron al número de excomuniones.Un reporte le llegó al Emperador Teodosio II, y los representantes de ambos lados trajeron su caso ante el. El primer instinto de Teodosio era confirmar las sentencias de Cirilo, Memnon, y Nestóreo. Mejor deshacerse de todos ellos y los problemas que habían causado. Pero un espléndido regalo de Cirilo persuadió al Emperador a disolver el Consejo y enviar a Nestóreo al exilio. Un nuevo obispo de Constantinopla fue consagrado. Cirilo regresó en triunfo a Alejandría.Desde una perspectiva histórica, es lo que sucedió DESPUES del concilio de Éfeso, que fue mucho más importante. Juan de Antioquía envió a un representante a Alejandría con un credo que incluía las dos posiciones en un punto medio. Esto afirmó la dualidad de naturalezas, en contraste con la formulación de Cirilo, pero aceptó la Theotokos, a diferencia de Nestóreo. Este punto mediador anticipo decisiones que fueron alcanzadas en el próximo Consejo general de la iglesia en Calcedonia.Cirilo estuvo de acuerdo con el credo y la reunificación de las iglesias tomo lugar en el año 433. Desde entonces, los historiadores se han preguntado si Cirilo era un gran líder al aceptar el credo mediador o simplemente acepto cínicamente porque él había logrado su propósito real; al deshacerse de Nestóreo. De cualquier manera, el verdadero perdedor fue Nestóreo. Teodosio mando quemar sus libros, y muchos de los que habían estado de acuerdo con la teología de Nestóreo retiraron su apoyo.Aquellos que representaban su énfasis teológico siguieron llevando a cabo su trabajo en el este de Siria, convirtiéndose en lo que la historia llama a la Iglesia Oriental, un movimiento del evangelio que pronto veremos, alcanzó hasta el Océano Pacífico.Mientras estaba en el exilio, Nestóreo escribió un libro en el que exponia la historia de su vida y defendía su posición. Comentarios modernos de Nestóreo encuentran que fue mas cismático en temperamento que un hereje. Él negaba la herejía de la cual estaba acusado, que el humano Jesús y el divino Cristo eran 2 personas diferentes.Veinte años después del concilio de Éfeso, que muchos consideran un grave error, otro fue llamado en Calcedonia. Las enseñanzas de Nestóreo fueron declaradas herejías y fue oficialmente destituido. Aunque ya estaba en el exilio, fue desterrado ahora por un acto de la Iglesia en lugar del Emperador. En uno de esos datos curiosos de la historia, aunque lo que Nestóreo enseñaba acerca de Cristo fue rechazado, resultó ser la posición adoptada por el Credo que salió del Concilio de Calcedonia. Cuando le llegó a Nestóreo en el exilio la noticia de la conclusión del Consejo el dijo que solo habían ratificado lo que él siempre había creído y enseñado.Hay mucho que aprender de esta historia de conflicto y resolución.En primer lugar, muchas de las doctrinas que damos por sentado como parte integral de la fe cristiana ortodoxa, surgieron a través una gran lucha y muchos debates de algunas de las mentes más brillantes que la historia ha conocido. A veces, esas ideas eran populares y las seguían porque eran convenientes. Pero la política no puede sostener una idea falsa. Siempre hay fieles, hombres y mujeres que aman la verdad, porque es verdad, y no porque les va a ganar poder, influencia o ventaja. Pueden sufrir a manos de los corruptos por una temporada, pero siempre prevaleciendo al final.Deberíamos estar agradecidos, no sólo con Dios por darnos la verdad en su Palabra y el Espíritu para comprenderla, pero también por las personas que estaban dispuestas a un gran costo para ellos mismos pasar peligros para asegurarse que la verdad prevaleciera sobre el error.Segundo, muchas veces, la gente mira hacia atrás a la "Iglesia Primitiva" y asume que fue un tiempo maravilloso de dulce armonía. La vida era sencilla, todos estaban de acuerdo y nunca nadie se peleaba. ¡No fue así!¿No han leído la Biblia? Los discípulos siempre estaban discutiendo sobre quién era el mayor. Pablo y Bernabé tuvieron una separación por causa de Juan Marcos. Pablo tuvo que ponerse en la cara de Pedro cuando empezó a actuar como hipócrita.Sí, claro, en el libro de Hechos leemos acerca de un breve periodo de tiempo cuando el amor de la congregación era tan extraordinario que sacudió a la ciudad de Jerusalén hasta lo mas profundo y resulto en muchos viniendo a la fe. Pero eso fue sólo un breve momento que pronto paso.Dios quiere que su pueblo este en unidad. La verdadera unidad, en la verdad del Evangelio, es una potente y increíble prueba de nuestra fe. Pero la idea de que la Iglesia primitiva era una Edad de Oro de la unidad es una ficción. El libro de Philip Jenkins sobre la batalla sobre la Cristología del 4º y 5º siglo. es titulado, Las Guerras sobre Jesús.La Iglesia en su totalidad tendría un enfoque mejor hoy en día, en la búsqueda de la unidad. Con cada congregación local centrando sus esfuerzos en amar y servirse los unos a los otros a través del poder del Espíritu. Es inevitable si se destacaban en hacerlo, empezarían a ver a todas las iglesias y los creyentes de la misma manera, y la unidad sería real en lugar de ser un programa con una fecha de inicio y final o una campaña basada en personalidades y publicidad.Oye, ahora que lo pienso, eso es lo que COMENZO ese breve momento glorioso de armonía en Jerusalén entre los seguidores de Jesús, que se amaron y sirvieron los unos a los otros en el poder del Espíritu. Nos vemos la próxima vez.
