1 Apollinarianism By: Isaac Ipsen, Siam Owens, Matthew Williams, Alex Espiritu, Joey Awika

2 Who Apollinarius was a bishop in Laodicea. He is best known his interpretation of Jesus divinity. His ideas which did not have much of an affect during his lifetime, made a lasting contribution on theology in the Eastern Orthodox Church by referring to Jesus as one with the Father meaning that he is completely god in spirit and in body.

3 What Jesus can’t be truly God and truly man. Jesus had no human soul. If he did have a soul he would be subject to sin like all humans. Therefore Jesus could not have a human soul if his nature was truly divine.

4 Where Apollinarius was bishop of Laodicea. Laodicea is located near Antioch (Syria). Apollinarianism spread to the adjacent countries during is lifetime but after his death it morphed with Monophysitism.

5 When - Apollinarius the Younger was born between A.D. and died before 392 A.D. In 377 A.D. he and his religion were condemned a heresy by a Roman synod Declared a heresy in 381 A.D. by the First Council of Constantinople The religion persisted into the 5th Century

6 How While at different times, both the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church declared Appolinarius’ ideas as heresy. His ideas did gain weight in countries close to its origin but it quickly declined after his death. His ideology was only able to flourish while he was behind to support it. Once he died, his followers decreased and converted to Monophysitism.

7 Why Apollinarianism was created because Apollinarius could not accept Jesus being fully God and fully man. Since humans sin, he thought Jesus couldn’t be human because he didn’t sin. People condemned him for making a 3rd person deity; neither god nor man.
