    Excerpt from dramatic film about Mor Severus and Mor Philoxenus

    Nestorianism Clarification

    Hi all! I just discovered this video about an Eastern Orthodox priest describing the Nestorianism present in the Last Temptation of Christ. It starts at 25:50 and is only about 2 minutes long. There is also this discussion on an Orthodox forum about it. The best post is mid-way down. This is...
