Kyrillos (of Jerusalem)

Japanese: キュリロス[エルサレムの]（英語表記）Kyrillos

315 koro-386
Bishop of Jerusalem who was instrumental in ending the Arian controversy, which took on a complicated form in the second half of the 4th century. Jerusalem had traditionally been the seat of the Nicene bishopric, but Cyril was nominated for the position by Arian Bishop Acacius of Caesarea (around 349). As a result, he was considered an Arian in the Christian world of the time. However, he soon came into conflict with Acacius and was deposed from his bishopric three times. Cyril was reluctant to accept the Nicene claim that the Father and Son are homoousios (one substance), as stated by the Nicene faction, because this does not appear in the Bible, but he formally accepted it at the Council of Constantinople (381).

315ころ‐386
4世紀後半に複雑な様相を呈したアリウス派論争の終結に尽力したエルサレム主教。エルサレムは伝統的にニカエア派の主教座であったが，キュリロスはアリウス派のカエサレア主教アカキオスに推されて主教になった(349ころ)。したがって当時のキリスト教世界では，アリウス派とみなされていたことになる。しかしほどなくアカキオスと対立し，3度にわたって主教職を罷免された。キュリロスは，ニカエア派の主張した父と子の〈ホモウシオス(同一実体)〉が聖書に現れないとして難色を示したが，コンスタンティノープル公会議(381)では正式にそれを受け入れた。
