Council Of Chalcedon
The Council of Chalcedon (; ) was the fourth ecumenical council of the Christian Church. It was convoked by the Roman emperor Marcian.

Eustathius Of Sebaste
Eustathius of Sebaste (. after 377) was bishop of Sebastia in Armenia (modern Sivas, Turkey) during the fourth century. He is known for his asceticism, his early opposition to slavery, and his friendship with Basil of Caesarea. Eustathius was son of the Arian bishop Eulalius of Sebaste and was born sometime around 300 AD. He was originally a monk, and is said to have been the first who acquainted the Armenians with an ascetic life. For this reason some persons ascribed to him the work on Ascetics, which is usually regarded as the production of Saint Basil of Caesarea. Basil was a close friend and student of Eustathius, looking up to him from a young age; Eustathius greatly influenced Basil, including inspiring him to pursue the monastic life instead of studying in Athens. Eustathius was one of the few patristic authors to endorse the complete abolition of slavery, and possibly the first person to reject slavery entirely. Eustathius was the teacher of Macrina, Basil, Naucratiu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
