Resumo: | The aim of this article is to analyze the politico-administrative strategy of Emperor Theodosius II (408-450 AD) in the appointment of Bishop Nestorius to the Episcopacy of Constantinople in AD 428. This event led to the Nestorian Controversy, a theological conflict, which emerged within the ecclesiasticalhierarchy of the Eastern Roman Empire, and sought to establish an orthodoxy regarding the manner in which the interaction between the human and divine natures occurred in the incarnate Christ. We perceived that the factions formed in the defense of the union of the two natures, advocated by bishop Cyril of Alexandria, and the separation of them, defended by Nestorius of Constantinople, had considered the presence of officials from the imperial administration in the dispute. Therefore our objective was to show that the reason Nestorius had been appointed to the Episcopacy of Constantinople by Theodosius II was related not only to the establishment of a project for religious unity, but also toward the complex politico-administrative game which included the consideration of interests and counterbalancing of powers among the aristocracies of officials who contributed to legitimize imperial unity. |

Esse acontecimento deu início à Controvérsia Nestoriana, conflito teológico que emergiu na hierarquia eclesiástica do Império Romano do Oriente e buscava estabelecer uma ortodoxia em relação ao modo como se deu a interação entre as naturezas humana e divina no Cristo encarnado. Ao se perceber que as facções formadasna defesa da união das naturezas, advogada pelo bispo Cirilo de Alexandria, e separação delas, defendida por Nestório de Constantinopla, contemplavam a presença de funcionários da administração imperial na disputa, indicaremos que o sentido da convocação de Nestório para o episcopado de Constantinopla,por Teodósio II, esteve relacionado não apenas ao estabelecimento de projeto de unidade religiosa, mas se inseria, também, no complexo jogo político-administrativo que abarcava a acomodação de interesses e o contrabalanceamento de poderes com as aristocracias de funcionários que contribuíam para legitimar a unidade imperial.UFRGS2020-04-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/9269410.22456/1983-201X.92694Anos 90; Vol. 27 (2020); 1-18Anos 90; v. 27 (2020); 1-181983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/92694/56658Copyright (c) 2020 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Figueiredo, Daniel2021-10-04T19:50:14Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/92694Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2021-10-04T19:50:14Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
