ABSTRACT
THE characteristic difference between East and West can be seen once again in the religious controversies which each had to face during the early years of the fifth century. Both were concerned with what was at bottom the same difficulty. The question as to the true capacity of the nature of man was bound to come up for discussion sooner or later, and it so happened that it arose simultaneously in West and East, but in the former it presented itself as a practical moral problem, while in the latter it came to the front in the effort to settle the problem as to the precise nature of the manhood in Christ.
