Severus of Antioch was a prominent Christian theologian and bishop in the early 6th century. He is best known for his opposition to the Council of Chalcedon, which defined the two natures of Christ as divine and human. Severus advocated for a Miaphysite understanding of Christ, emphasizing the unity of His nature. Born around 465 AD, Severus became the Patriarch of Antioch in 512 AD. His teachings and writings significantly influenced the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. Severus was also involved in various theological disputes and was exiled multiple times due to his beliefs.
