Description
-
Erol explains that the Christians long labeled “Nestorians” in church polemics, later called Assyrians in Western usage, are the Church of the East, whose Christology was condemned at Ephesus in 431. He situates them among Jacobite villages north of Mosul (notably Telkayf) and describes their settlement in the Tiyari and Hakkari regions, organized as independent tribal groupings.
He then traces the modern ethnic project that gathered different Syriac Christian streams under an Assyrian banner. After arriving in the United States in 1916, Naum Faik changed his own identification and called on “Nestorians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Catholics, and Protestants” to remember their shared past, blood, and language, to exalt the name of the Assyrians, and to unite to secure Assyrian rights.
