East Syriac Christianity
East Syriac Christianity refers to the teachings and doctrines of the 
Church of the East, who split from mainstream 
Christianity following the Council of 
Ephesus in 431 AD. He went East, didn't write home, and somehow ended up preaching in China while being called a heretic by 
Rome and 
Constantinople. Born out of 
early Christian communities in the Mesopotamia region of the 
Persian Empire, this branch of Christianity took the road not taken by 
Catholicism and 
Orthodoxy (literally). He marched eastward, dodging both popes and emperors, and planted crosses as far as 
India, 
Mongolia, and 
China.
East Syriac Christianity developed outside the 
Roman Empire, which is super important. Because he was based in the Persian Empire, he avoided the theological and political tug-of-war between Rome and Constantinople. That also meant that when Roman Christians started debating over Greek philosophy and Christology, the East Syriac Church was busy surviving under 
Zoroastrian kings and later, 
Muslim caliphates.
History
East Syriac Christianity trace his roots to the 1st-2nd centuries AD, not long after the birth of Christianity himself. He grew out of early Christian communities speaking 
Syriac, a dialect of 
Aramaic — the same language 
Jesus would have spoken.
