Adoptionism
A
heresy originating in
the 8th century claiming that Christ as Man was only the adoptive. Son of
God. It was advocated by Elipandus of Toledo and Felix of Urgel, but
condemned by Pope Adrian I in 785 and 794. Abelard renewed this teaching in
the 12th century, and his neo-Adoptionism was condemned by Pope Alexander
III in 1177.
