	Babai the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Babai the Great was born in Beth Ainata in Beth Zabdai.
		To circumvent the royal proscription, Babai the Great was appointed 'visitor of the monasteries' of the north, and administered the church in collaboration with Archdeacon Mar Aba.
		Babai the Great and Mar Aba administered the Nestorian Church for 17 years until Chosroes II was murdered in 628.

	ABOUT MY UNCLE
		Babai came to be known as an expert swimmer and brawny.
		Babai also expressed his pleasure, introduced each one of us to the audience and turned over the money he had received to the Siva temple.
		My babai, who stood by me through out my childhood, gave me indelible childhood memories, was gone without receiving anything from me. The lives of some people are meant to be so, I suppose, only to share it with others'.

	Nestorius and Nestorianism
		In this work he claims that his faith is that of the celebrated "Tome", or letter of Leo the Great to Flavian, and excuses his failure to appeal to Rome by the general prejudice of which he was the victim.
		It would seem that Babai means that "a man" (individuum vagum) is the hypostasis, but not the person, until we add the individual characteristics by which he is known to be Peter or Paul.
		As to the nature of the union, Babai falls on the Antiochene saying that it is ineffable, and prefers the usual metaphors -- assumption, inhabitation, temple, vesture, junction-to any definition of the union.

	Babai the Great - Slider
		Babai the Great was born in Beth Ainata in Beth Zabdai His parents were well to do and he received a primary education in the Persian books.
		Babai in the 'Book of Union' teaches two qnome (hypostasis, essence), which are unmingled but everlastingly united in one parsopa (person, character, identity).
		Clearly, to Babai, Christ is both God and man. But he could not tolerate any form of Theopaschism (the believe that God suffered), be it the divinity itself, the Trinity, or one of the hypostases of the Trinity.

	The Christianity of the Qur'an Uncovered - Part 3
		Babai forwarded strongly the idea that the soul, though existing apart from the body was not a complete entity, and lacked knowledge and memory.
		Besides quoting scriptural passages to prove this theory (ie Genesis, James etc.) Babai cited the legend of _The Seven Sleepers_.(7) Of course, the story of the Fellows of the Cave (The Sleepers) appears in sura 18 of the Qur'an.
		Babai was for a long period of time the actual leader of the Church, and his doctrine dominated the discussions of the Nestorians for centuries, even through the tenth century CE.

	Nestorianism Summary
		Historical references to Nestorians are to the Assyrian Church of the East, commonly described as Nestorian because it refused to drop support for Nestorius and denounce him as an heretic.
		However the church of the east does not teach Nestorianism, but rather teaches the view of Babai the Great, that Christ has two qnome (essences) which are unmingled and eternally united in one parsopa (personality).
		Babai the Great (551–628), who was also the unofficial head of the Church at that time and revived the Assyrian monastic movement, refuted him and in the process wrote the normative Christology of the Assyrian Church, based on Theodore of Mopsuestia.

		Babai the Great together with Archdeacon Mar Aba administered the church without the authority vested in the position of the Catholicos.
