Background on Nestorian Christians

Here is some background info on Nestorian Christians for people who have never heard of this specific group.
Or, you are curious to see what other information you can find out about the background.

Nestorians were members of a Christian sect, which originated in Asia Minor and Syria out of the condemnation of Nestorius and his teachings.

Nestorius had been anathematized at Ephesus in 431 for denouncing the use of the title Theotokos (“God-Bearer”) for the Blessed Virgin.

Their culture stressed the independence of the divine and human natures of Christ.

In the west, the Persian church is referred to as the Nestorian Church.

Most of its members (numbering about 170,000) live in Iraq, Syria, and Iran.

Nestorian Christianity spread to Persia, India, and China, bringing with it the Syriac language and script.

Nestorian churches were to be found in cities all along the Silk Road.

Though there were undoubtedly many more Buddhists than there were Christians.
