Theodotus the Bishop

Theodotus, bishop of Ancyra in Galatia, while he was at Ephesus, wrote against Nestorius a work of defense and refutation. It is written, to be sure, in the style of logical argument, but it is interwoven with passages from the Holy Scriptures. His method was to make statements and then quote proof texts from the Scriptures.
