The Proceedings of the Council of Chalcedon, 451
The Third Ecumenical Council
The Definition of Faith of the Council of Chalcedon
- The most important part of the Council's proceedings was the production of this short Definition, which provides the Church's answer to the Christological problems that had been rife for the past two centuries. See also the Note on the Definition by Anatolius of Constantinople.
The Tome of St Leo the Great, Pope of Rome
- A letter sent by Leo to Flavian, but in a larger sense to the Church as a whole. Leo, who could not be at the Council of Chalcedon, nonetheless wished his voice to be heard in relation to the Christological controversy. This letter played a formative part in the proceedings of the Council.
The Canons of the Council, with Notes (on the CCEL website)
- The full text of the canons of the Council of Chalcedon, with ancient and modern historical notes. Canon 28, on the authority of the See of Constantinople, is of marked importance (see a brief excursus on the later history of this canon).
Epistle of Cyril of Alexandria to John of Antioch
- The latter having rejected the Council of Ephesus in favour of his friendship with Nestorius, Cyril attempts to reconcile him to the Orthodox faith. In this he is successfull, and John eventually returns to the Church and becomes a staunch opponant of Nestorianism.
An Introduction to the Council (on the Arimathea website)
- An introductory text to the history and meaning of the Council, from an Orthodox perspective.
