The New Judas is a new account of the life of Nestorius (ca. 386 to451 CE), the Christological controversy that engulfed him, as well as thecritical imperial interventions into ecclesiastical politics during theperiod from the First Council of Ephesus to the Council of Chalcedon. Thiswork endeavours to use both Nestorius' own Liber Heraclidis, preserved only in Syriac, as well as the unprecedented abundance ofprimary documents in Greek and Latin from Acta ConciliorumOecumenicorum, to answer a question of fundamental historicalimportance: How could the teaching of Christ's two natures, one so closelyidentified with Nestorius, deposed in 431, be vindicated in all itsessentials at the Council of Chalcedon in twenty years later? The answerrequires not only a reconsideration of the role of the supposedly timidemperor Theodosius II, but also a new understanding of the evolvingposition of Nestorius' chief opponent, Cyril of Alexandria.
