Marcian's declaration of Jesus' two "natures" resulted in the alienation of which provinces' population?

  • Germania

  • Greece

  • Syria and Egypt

  • Italy

Answer

Marcian's declaration of Jesus' two "natures" resulted in the alienation of Syria and Egypt's populations because these provinces had a long history of supporting Monophysite Christianity, which held that Jesus had only one nature. Marcian's declaration contradicted this belief, and as a result, many people in these provinces became angry and resentful.
