The Development and Theological Importance of the Heresy of Macedonianism
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Although Macedonianism does not have the historical significance of some of the Christological heresies, it is nevertheless very important. A better understanding of this heresy will lead to a beter understanding of the problems facing the Modern Church and the New Era which has been called the Age of the Holy Spirit. Named after its alleged leader, Macedonius, bishop of Constantinople from 342 to 360, at which date he was deposed, Macedonianism was recognized as a separate heresy only in the Latter part of the fourth century. Prior to that time, Macedonianism appeared under many different names, such as the Pneumatomachists, Marathonists, Semi-Arians, Tropicisits and Homoiusians. In 381, the Council of Constantinople gave the Macedonian heresy its death blow, but the teachings of its adherents lingered long afterwards.</p>
