This Talk page originally redirected to Talk:List_of_Patriarchs_of_Antioch, which is very confusing, since there are separate pages for Patriarch of Antioch and List of Patriarchs of Antioch. I fixed. --Jfruh 23:55, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

ACTUALLY PATRIACH OF ANTIOCH IS THE SUCCESSOR OF ST. PETER. THE HEAD OF THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS THE PATRIARCH OF ANTIOCH. THESE ROMAN POPES AND PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE HAVE GOT IMPORTANCE ONLY FROM THE SUPPORT OF ROMAN AND BYZANTAINE EMPERORS. THEY TRIED TO DESTROY THE APTRIARCH OF ANTIOCH.

Silly me. I thought that Jesus Christ was head of the whole Christian church. Majoreditor 17:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

The author writes that "The Antiochene church was a centre of Christian learning, second only to Alexandria. In contrast to the Hellenistic-influenced Christology of Alexandria, Rome, and Constantinople, Antiochene theology was greatly influenced by Rabbinic Judaism and other modes of Semitic thought."

Does he have doctrinal/theological examples of how Antiochene theology was "greatly influenced by Rabbinic Judaism" and would therefore differ from Alexandria, Rome, and Constantinope? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.60.250 (talk) 21:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added a one-sentence explanation of the supposed Semitic influences behind Antiochene theology: the transcendent unity of the Divinity can produce adoptionism among extremists, and led to the dyophysite view of Christ. — Gareth Hughes (talk) 23:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
