The Antiochene School

The Antiochene School was a Christian theological movement that emerged in the city of Antioch during the 4th and 5th centuries. It emphasized a clear distinction between Jesus’s human and divine natures, focusing on his humanity and emphasizing the historical context of biblical events. Their approach aimed to understand Christ as a real human being who also possessed divine qualities, avoiding blending or confusing the two natures. This school played a significant role in shaping Christological debates and contributed to the development of doctrines that emphasized both the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ in a balanced way.
