Böcker av Nestorius of Constantinople

Nestorius is one of the most infamous characters of the church of the 5th century. His fall from grace has been carried through the centuries by the communion of Catholic and Orthodox churches who have sought to distance themselves from him and his Christological opinions. However, despite this, some of his writings have survived within the Latin church, and the compilation of his various sermons was completed sometime in the late medieval period. This appears to have been done to create a bit of theological straw man, something which seminarians and professors of theology could use as a matter of pedagogy. Curiously, this works have not survived in the alleged "Nestorian" Church of the East, as they appear as an exclusive artifact of the Latin church.

The letters of Nestorius are a brief collection of writings, given from the pen of the famous heresiarch, about his controversial Christological position. His efforts would come to a head in 431-433, with his removal from the patriarchy of Constantinople and his expulsion to Egypt. These letters are a rare glimpse into his mind when he was attempting to clarity the position that would eventually be deemed heretical by the Council of Ephesus.
