452 CE
Juvenal, bishop of Jerusalem from 421 to 458, eventually achieves his ambition and is recognized by the Council of Chalcedon as patriarch of the three provinces of Palestine.
The Monophysite Controversy, a debate among Christians who disagree with the Council of Chalcedon's assertion that the person of Jesus Christ comprises two natures, human and divine, troubles Palestine, as well as Syria and Egypt.
When Juvenal returns from Chalcedon, having signed the Council's canons, the monks of Palestine rise and elect another bishop of Jerusalem, and military force is required to subdue them.
The Chalcedonian doctrine gradually gains ground, however, and Palestine becomes a stronghold of orthodoxy.
