Everything about John Of Antioch totally explained
John of Antioch was
Patriarch of Antioch (429-441) and led a group of moderate Eastern bishops during the
Nestorian controversy. He is sometimes confused with
John Chrysostom, who is occasionally also referred to as
John of Antioch. John gave active support to his friend
Nestorius in the latter's dispute with
Cyril of Alexandria. In the year 431, he arrived too late for the opening meeting of the
Council of Ephesus. Cyril, suspecting John of using procrastinating tactics to support Nestorius, decided not to wait and convened the council without John and his supporters, condemning Nestorius. When John reached
Ephesus a few days after the council had begun, he convened a counter-council which condemned Cyril and vindicated Nestorius.
Two years later, in 433 John reconciled with Cyril based on the
Formula of Reunion, a theological formula devised as a compromise. In the process, John lost many of his own supporters within his patriarchate. Some of his letters are extant.
