Despite this condemnation, Nestorius continued to hold onto his beliefs and became the founder of the Nestorian sect. This sect gained significant following in Syria and throughout the East, eventually spreading to China, India, and other parts of Asia.</p> <p><strong>Context</strong> The development of Nestorianism took place within the broader context of early Christianity, specifically during the 5th century AD. The Council of Ephesus (431 AD) marked a significant turning point in the history of Christian theology, as it led to the condemnation of several heretical doctrines, including Arianism and Nestorianism. This era saw intense debates between various theological schools, such as Alexandria and Antioch, over issues like Christology and the nature of God.</p>
