Apollinarism or Apollinarianism was a view proposed by Apollinaris of Laodicea that Jesus had a human body but a divine mind. Apollinaris further taught that the souls of men were propagated by other souls, as well as their bodies. Theodoret charged him with confounding the persons of the Godhead, and with giving into the heretical ways of Sabellius. Basil accused him of abandoning the literal sense of the scripture, and taking up wholly with the allegorical sense.

This heresy was very subtile; it was



condemned in a Synod at Alexandria, under St. Athanasius, in 362. It was subdivided into several different heresies, the chief whereof were the Polemians and the Antidicomarianites.

It was declared to be a heresy in 381 by the First Council of Constantinople, since Christ was officially depicted as fully human and fully God. Followers of Apollinarianism were accused of attempting to create a tertium quid.
