Fr Austin discusses the book edited by Ben Quash and Michael Ward, with an eye toward why it matters what Christians believe.

There are a number of classic mistakes in understanding Christian faith (for instance, that Jesus is not really equal to God, or that Jesus has a human body but not a human mind). These are interesting not because Christianity wants to ‚Äúroot out‚Äù heretics (in fact, most heresies were initially held by people who were just trying to figure out the implications of Jesus’ birth, teaching, death, and resurrection). Rather, they are interesting in that they help us see why it matters what we believe. 

This Sunday’s heresy is Nestorianism, which poses the question of whether Jesus is one ‚Äúpersonality,‚Äù or is his divine nature kept separate from his human nature? More exactly, Nestorianism claims that Jesus is two persons, one divine and one human. What this means and why it matters will be the subject of this session You’ll also find coffee and tea in the room.
