St Thomas Christians are not Nestorians but Jacobites

[edit]

Sebastian P. Brock, a leading scholar in Syriac studies, discusses the historical affiliations of the Saint Thomas Christians in India in various writings. In his entry on "Thomas Christians" in the Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage (edited by Sebastian Brock, Aaron Butts, George Kiraz, and Lucas Van Rompay, 2011), Brock notes that the Saint Thomas Christians were historically connected with the Church of the East. While the Church of the East has often been labeled as "Nestorian," Brock clarifies that this term is a misnomer, as the Christological position of the Church of the East differs from the teachings attributed to Nestorius.

Brock also highlights that prior to the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, there were indications of Jacobite (Syriac Orthodox) influences among the Saint Thomas Christians. This challenges the view that they were exclusively associated with the Church of the East. Liturgical and historical evidence suggests a shared heritage and interactions with both traditions, reflecting a more complex ecclesiastical identity.
