Council of Ephesus, Cyril of Alexandria: Anathema VI

If anyone shall dare say that the Word of God the Father is the God of Christ or the Lord of Christ, and shall not rather confess him as at the same time both God and Man, since according to the Scriptures, “The Word was made flesh”:  let him be anathema.

Edition and transmission

Cyril of Alexandria authored this text. The source editor discusses uncertainty about its formal approval at Ephesus and its subsequent conciliar reception. It is preserved as received doctrinal material, not as an undisputed text newly authored by the council.
