Abstract

This article attempt is made to assess the role and place of the dispute between Patriarchs Damian and Peter of Callinicum, in the context of the theological and ecclesiological confrontation between Alexandria and Antioch as early Byzantine centers of anti-Chalcedonism. For earlier disputes, the conflict of systems of dogmatic theology was the fundamental cause of disagreement. Now, in the context of the emergence of the anti-Chalcedonian Jacobite churches as alternative ecclesiastical structures in early Byzantine society, which finally took shape as a result of the activity of Jacob Baradei and Patriarch Theodosius, the question of the primacy of one of the mentioned chairs has emerged. Also, the dispute of the patriarchs is a kind of prologue of the first stage of the religious policy of Emperor Heraclius, who will take an active part in eliminating its results.
