Jacob (James) Baradai, Monophysite Christian bishop of …

Years: 578 - 578

Jacob (James) Baradai, Monophysite Christian bishop of Edessa, organizes a separate church, which comes to be called Jacobite, in opposition to the Orthodox episcopate of Eastern Christendom.

The Jacobite church, together with the Copts of Egypt, the Armenians, and the Ethiopians, rejects the doctrine of the 451 Council of Chalcedon on the "two natures in one person" of Christ and prefers to define Christ's person as "one nature."

Jacob dies in Homs, Syria, in 578.
