 Nestorian Theology
The Antiochene school was influenced by Aristotle and adhered to an historical exegesis (i.e.
The Antiochenes spoke of two natures in Christ, so they came to be known as Dyophysites (from the Greek duo physis, "two natures"), whereas the Alexandrians insisted upon one nature, at once divine and human, so they came to be known as Monophysites (from mono physis, "one nature").
Theodore, the father of Antiochene theology, taught two clearly defined natures of Christ: the assumed Man, perfect and complete in his humanity, and the Logos, consubstantial with the Father, perfect and complete in his divinity, the two natures (physis) being united by God in one person (prosopon).

 Archbishop of Canterbury | Sermons and Speeches
The fact is that the phraseology shows many signs of being rooted in an idiom common throughout the Antiochene sphere of theological influence and shared by both pro- and anti-Nicenes in the fourth century, and with clear origins in the pre-Nicene period.
Akataleptos, ‘ungraspable’ is common to Basil and (probably) the Antiochene formula of 325; it appears also in the liturgy of Chrysostom, but – unsurprisingly – is absent from AC and Eunomius, both of which have serious theological objection to phrases suggesting that God is radically unknowable.
The overlap with the rules of faith found in so many early authors is obvious; rehearsing the occurrence and the climactic events of the incarnate life is both an identifying of who it is in whom the believer professes faith, and a justification for giving thanks to God.

 Impassible Suffering? Divine Passion and Fifth-Century Christology - Questia Online Library   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Antiochene theologians were the coolheaded exegetes who resisted allegorical readings of the text, refused to allow philosophy to dominate their Christology, and insisted on the historical significance of Jesus as a human being.
Although some scholarly studies of the christological, debates of the fifth century recognize the inaccuracy of this position(3) the view that Antiochenes were prototypical historians committed to the man Jesus continues to be influential.
The depth of the Antiochene resistance to using language suggestive of divine suffering can easily be missed if we are predisposed to find a controversy about history and humanity.

 Thomas Asbridge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
A Muslim army from Baghdad invaded northern Syria in 1115 and was eventually defeated by the Prince Roger and the Antiochene army at Tall Danith.
Then in 1119 the forces of nearby Aleppo, under the command of Il-ghazi, attacked the principality's eastern frontier and soundly defeated the Latins in what became known as the battle of the Field of Blood, a battle in which Prince Roger of Antioch was killed.
Thus, we must be suspicious of the panegyric portrayal of the king and the suggestion that the Latins actually defeated Il-ghazi in battle in the summer of 1119.

 The Antiochene Liturgy, A Brief History
The family of Antiochene liturgies begins with the liturgy of the Apostolic Constitutions, which claims to be written by St. Clement of Rome.
The fact that this liturgy is Antiochene is proven by the precedence of Antioch, the celebration of Christmas (kept from 375 on in Antioch, but not elsewhere until 430), and by the dating of Holy Week and Easter.
The oldest of the Antiochene is the Greek Liturgy of St. James.

The Antiochene Rite is the Liturgy of St. James of Jerusalem.
The Syrian Rite is located primarily in Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Syria, with healthy communities in Asia, Africa, Australia, and North and South America, reunited with Rome in 1781 and uses the Syriac and Arabic languages in its liturgies.
The Armenian Rite, technically a distinct rite, derived from the Antiochene Rite and is an older form of the Byzantine Rite.

Historically what happened is that Nestorius' more moderate colleagues accepted a compromise position that combined their appreciation for the reality of Jesus' human life (something that many in Athanasius' party didn't seem to do justice to) with the Alexandrian insistence that the Logos himself is the subject of Jesus' actions and attributes.
The Antiochene approach tends to start with Jesus as a human being in whom the Logos dwells.
The Antiochene must make it clear that the Logos dwells in Jesus in such a way that the Logos is actually the subject of Jesus' actions and attributes.

 Severus of Antioch's Objection to Chalcedon
The Formula of Reunion, contends Severus [24], had been drawn up against the background of a split in the Church, which itself was the result of an inability on the part of the Antiochene tradition to understand the faith in a proper way.
The Antiochene concern behind a union of two hypostases and the prosopon of Christ being the prosopon formed of a union of two hypostatic realities is conserved by Severus, without dividing the natures one from the other.
Severus concludes that the proponents of the Antiochene tradition did not affirm a real union of the natures; they maintained only the conjoint existence in Christ of God the Son and the man. It was in order to assert this position that they had insisted on ‘two natures after the union’.

 Dioscorus I of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In his struggle against Nestorius St. Cyril explained the union between the two natures of Christ (His Divinity and His Humanity) as "inward and real without any division, change, or confusion." He rejected the Antiochene theory of "indwelling", or "conjunction", or "close participation" as insufficient to reveal the real unification.
He charged that their theory permitted the division of the two natures of Christ just as Nestorius taught.
On the other hand the Antiochene formula was "Two natures after the union" which is translated to "DYO PHYSIS".

Besides the Antiochenes did have regard for the spiritual sense, and the divine element in the Scriptures.
With regard to prophecies and psalms that were generally understood to be Messianic, the Antiochenes allowed for a fuller sense alongside the historical sense.
Despite differences of emphasis among the Antiochene Fathers, the whole believed that allegory was an unreliable, indeed illegitimate, instrument for interpreting Scripture.

The interpretive school of Antioch, known as Antiochene, is often contrasted to the catechetical school of Alexandria, particularly in the approaches each used in interpreting scripture.
Antiochene scholars took a literal approach to the scriptures and did not look for the mystagogical in them.
Antiochene tendencies have been characterized as Aristotelian (concerned with what is before them); Semitic (emphasizing the oneness of God); and historical (focussing on the incarnation of Christ).

Theologians of the Antiochene school searched for ways to distinguish between the divine and the human in order to be able to demonstrate the presence of both the divine and the human in Jesus.
A fellow Antiochene, the priest Anastasius who had accompanied Nestorius to Constantinople, was severely criticized for condemning the Churchmen in the capital for using the term theotokos, "she who gives birth to god", in designation of Mary the mother of Jesus.
Emperor Theodosius II sincerely attempted to find a compromise that was acceptable, but through the persuasion of his sister he was moved eventually in 431 to depose neither Cyril nor John from their posts but to banish Nestorius to his former monastery at Antioch.

In 960, the Byzantines recaptured the region and re-established the Melkite patriarch in Antioch.
Some attribute the establishment of the Syriac Catholic Antiochene Patriarchate to the elevation in 1662 of Andrew Akhidjan, who had been ordained a bishop by the Maronite patriarch in 1656.
Although this effort met with serious objections, the fact that it was even attempted reveals the desire of the Antiochene churches for full communion.

 Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture
Rodolph Yanney, MD        During the nineteen century and early in the twentieth, it was customary to speak of two main schools of biblical exegesis in the early Church, the Alexandrian and the Antiochene.
In the last decades of the fourth century and during the fifth century a vigorous reaction against allegorism was led by theologians in Antioch, mainly Diodore of Tarsus (d.c.
    Against allegoria, the Antiochenes used the word theria (=contemplation or insight.) a term found in Didymus of Alexandria 28 and for all practical purposes is a close equivalent of the Alexandrian Algeria.      The Antiochene Father were not, however, unanimous in rejecting allegorism.

 The Maronites of Cyprus
The Antiochene rite, of which the Maronites use a romanized form, is that of the undivided patriarchate of Antioch, replaced centuries ago by that of Constantinople by the Byzantine Catholics and Orthodox who live in that part of the world but retained by the Jacobites, Catholic Syrians and Maronites.
It is not possible to place all the blame for the hybridization of the Maronite rite on the mediaeval Latin bishops in Cyprus and on the later Western missionaries working in the Near East generally.
In Cyprus, as elsewhere, most of the Maronite churches are not built and furnished in a manner conformable to the Antiochene rite, but copied from those Latin churches into which the "Liturgical movement" of the West has not yet penetrated.

 Nestorianism, Nestorius
As a representative of the Antiochene school of Christology, he demurred at what he understood to be in that title a mixing of the human and divine natures in Christ.
He is reported to have affirmed that "the creature hath not given birth to the uncreatable," "the Word came forth, but was not born of her," and "I do not say God is two or three months old." In place of Theotokos, Nestorius offered the term Christotokos ("Christ - bearing").
The former emphasized the reality of Christ's humanity and was wary of any true communicatio idiomatum, or communication of the attributes from one nature to the other (hence Nestorius's aversion to the notion of the Logos's being born or suffering; later Reformed theologians have maintained the same kind of concerns).

 Is the Theology of the Church of the East Nestorian?
Under the influence of its patron, a zealous defender of the Antiochene positions, and of his choice to head the school, Narsai, the institution flourished and gained respect as a serious center of learning.
The Antiochene partisans at Nisibis vigorously promoted their Christological position, using the terminology familiar to them, that is, with the very terminology anathematized by the Ephesene synod and by the partisans of Cyril.
While providing a haven for Antiochene partisans of Nestorius and affording them freedom to promote the cause of their brand of dyophysism, the eastern bishops yet main­tained a certain distance from formally adopting their formulaic descriptions of the union of Godhead and manhood in Christ.

With respect to the subject of biblical exposition, the conflict between the school of Alexandria and the school of Antioch was clearly drawn.
The subject of Christology, however, elicited emotional and religious responses and distinctions that were to transcend these academic environs and affect the political and religious life and practice of Christianity in the Syrian Orient for centuries to come.
Diodore of Tarsus helped initiate this controversy in the last decades of the fourth century by speaking of Christ as simultaneously representing the "Son of God" and the "Son of Mary." Mary was viewed by this Antiochene scholar as the mother of a man, rather than a mother of God.

 Commentary on the Psalms, 1-72
Though originally intended as an opening to his exegetical work—in the manner of his predecessors in this school, Theodore of Mopsuestia and John Chrysostom—Theodoret’s Psalms commentary comes from his later ministry in the decade before the Council of Chalcedon, which he was instrumental in convening.
It thus documents current christological and trinitarian concerns and illustrates an Antiochene hermeneutic that rests firmly on the literal sense of the “inspired composition of the mighty David.”
When Hill has finished, a substantial amount of material from the Antiochene exegetes will be available for broader study, a resource of considerable value to students of biblical exegesis as well as to those without the necessary linguistic skills who are interested more generally in understanding Eastern Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries.
