 Pauline Allen: Severus of Antioch
Severus feels constrained to intercede for his flock while he is absent from his see on visitation; elsewhere, however, he is inclined to exhort them to attentive prayer, or to request their prayers for himself.
Severus felt himself responsible for establishing guidelines for bishops and their wives (here there is some overlap with spiritual guidance), and with the inclusion or striking of names from diptychs.
Severus' teaching role, on the contrary, comes across as being of paramount importance, whether it is carried out through the medium of the homily or of the letter, and there is evidence that he preached at least one catechetical homily per annum.

 The Christology of St Severus of Antioch - Part 2
Following Severus' argument we see that it is not the saying that Emmanuel has two natures which is condemned, but saying that he has these two natures and then describing their activities separately, as though there was God the Word acting as God in heaven and Christ the man acting as man on earth.
But they also exposed their teaching, as far as Severus was concerned, to the criticism that they fundamentally failed to understand the union and merely expressed the continuing perfection of humanity and Divinity without really teaching the union at all as St Cyril understood it.
Severus is clear that the union is of two different elements, the pre-existent divinity and the humanity, and Christ is one reality from two real elements, neither of which is lost or confused in the union.

 The SYRIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF ANTIOCH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Since the evangelists who preached the Gospel in Antioch came from Jerusalem where worship was in Syriac, it would only be natural that Syriac be the Liturgical language of the church of Antioch, and that she uses the Syriac liturgy of St. James the brother of the Lord and first bishop of Jerusalem.
The church of Antioch, therefore, is proud that her Liturgy is in Syriac, the language made holy by the Lord's divine tongue, and honored by the tongue of His mother Mary and his Apostles.
They split from the Syrian church of Antioch and established themselves a center of leadership in Madaen, Iraq, and then moved it, later on, to Baghdad in 762 A.D. Until recently, their church was known by the name "the Syrian church of the East", or the "Syrian Nestorian Church".

 The Christology of St Severus of Antioch - Part 1
This passage shows us that Severus is dependent on Cyril for his Christology and that when he speaks of the particularity of the natures in Christ he is summarising the quotation which he then provides from Cyril.
This makes clear that Severus teaches that the one nature of God the Word incarnate should be understood as allowing the two natures to continue to exist in the union of natures and to continue to preserve their distinctions and characteristics.
This is a key quotation because it expresses both Severus' confession of the continuing distinction and difference between the humanity born at Bethlehem and the eternal and divine Word, as well as his commitment to a union which makes one Christ without a confusion of these natures.

They are taken from Syriac literary sources: the letters of Severus of Antioch, a liturgical hymn, and the biography of John of Tella.
Two manuscripts of the Acts originated in the sixth century, Severus' homily on Thecla can be situated between 512 and 518, and the explicit reference to the Acts of Thecla in the Life of Febronia probably belongs to the late sixth or to the early seventh century.

For the bread that is consecrated on the holy tables and mystically transmuted is itself truly the body, the body of him in whose name it was in 91 fact transmuted, that is of him who voluntarily died and rose for our sakes.
And for a confirmation of the transmutation that is accomplished this has been seen by many even with the eyes of their senses themselves, and they have seen bloodstained flesh being broken, not the bread that is laid upon the altar.

 A Report concerning the Dialogue of the Syrian and the Assyrian Churches
Nestorius grew up in Antioch, before having been Patriarch of Constantinople: Theodore also grew up in Antioch before he became bishop for the city of Mopsuestia, in the region amidst the two rivers.
The reason underlying the objection was the refusal of the inclusion of a Nestorian Church in the membership of the Council.
By this they meant to delete the anathemas against such saints as Cyril of Alexandria and Severus of Antioch and also to delete the names of Nestorius, Diodore and Theodore from the list of saints of their Church, as well as the complete rejection of all Nestorian teachings.

While in the capital he became known by Emperor Anastasius who had greater sympathy with the anti- Chalcedonians than with the pro-Chalcedonians led by Patriarch Macedonius.
Severus is therefore absolutely committed to the reality of the humanity in Christ, united without division or confusion to the divinity, such that there is One Christ.
Indeed Severus criticises the Eutychian Sergius, with whom he corresponded, for suggesting that allowing the reality of the humanity and Divinity is necessarily the same as confessing a Nestorian juxtaposition.
