Apollinaris (d. 390) was a bishop of Syria known for replicating the New Testament in the form of Platonic dialogues at a time when the Roman Emperor Julian prohibited the teaching of Christianity.
Apollinaris also opposed Arianism, which denied the deity of Jesus Christ. He believed Christ dwelt in a spiritualized body.
Apollinaris' position resulted in two sects: the Vitalians and the Polemeans. The former contended that Christ's nature was so blurred than even his physical body is worthy of worship.
