Chalcedon (kăl`sĭdŏn, –dən, kălsē`dən), ancient Greek city of Asia Minor, on the Bosporus. It was founded by Megara on the shore opposite Byzantium in 685 B.C. Taken by the Persians and recovered by the Greeks, it was later a possession of the kings of Bithynia, from whom it passed (A.D. 74) to Rome. The Council of Chalcedon was held there in A.D. 451. The site is in the suburbs of Istanbul. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

The Armenian schism dates from after the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Yoder returned again to the question of the authority of the classic creeds at the conclusion of his Preface lectures on Chalcedon. He grants that the substantialistic ontology of Chalcedon was inevitable, as it was an authentic contextual formulation consequent upon the entry of the Christian movement in the Graeco-Roman world. |
