| Summary: | The Council of Chalcedon was summoned to resolve disputes over the right understanding of the person of Christ, but far from resolving them led immediately to conflict and division, especially in Egypt and Palestine. In Palestine the anti-Chalcedonian party chose a rival Patriarch who remained in office for twenty months before being ousted by imperial troops. Misunderstanding continued and hardened into a division of the Church into Chalcedonian and Monophysite. For the events in Palestine the main historical source has been the saints’ lives written in the mid-sixth century by the Chalcedonian Cyril of Scythopolis. |
