Elipando

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elipando (named in some sources as Elipandus) (717 - 808?) was a Spanish archbishop and theologian. He proposed Jesus as adopted rather than the natural son of God - a theory which is now known as adoptionism. His most well-known opponent was the English scholar Alcuin who wrote, among many other works against adoptionism, a Treatise against Elipandus in four books.
