Severus of Antioch

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.12 sec.

Severus of Antioch (c. 467–538)

Christian bishop, one of the originators of the Monophysite heresy. As patriarch of Antioch from 512, Severus was the leader of opposition to the doctrine agreed at the Council of Chalcedon 451 (see Chalcedon, Council of) in an attempt to unite factions of the early church. Severus insisted that Christ existed in one nature only. He was condemned by Emperor Justin I in 518, and left Antioch for Alexandria, never to return.
