The Church question of the day was the dispute on Monophysitism, the heresy which denied the existence both of a human and a divine nature in Our Lord.

Egypt was the home of Monophysitism, whence it extended also into Syria.

Monophysitism is blind to the difference between person and nature because it places all psychic experiences on the one level.

The course of Christianity in the East depends upon the great controversies, and in Monophysitism the Church of the East was split into permanent divisions.

S. John of Damascus, who died about 760, was clear in his acceptance of all the Councils of the Church, clear in his rejection of Monophysitism and Monothelitism.
