Monarchian, n. and a. Eccl. Hist.|məˈnɑːkɪən|
[ad. late L. monarchiānī pl., f. monarchia: see monarchy and -an.
The term monarchiani is merely a nickname applied by Tertullian (Adv. Prax. x) to certain opponents of the doctrine of the Trinity, in derision of their unintelligent use of the word monarchia (‘Monarchiam, inquiunt, tenemus’, ibid. ii). In early apologetics, ἡ µοναρχία τοῦ θεοῦ (‘the monarchy of God’) was a current designation for Christian monotheism, and these heretics regarded themselves as the defenders of this cardinal doctrine against the Trinitarians.]
A. n. One of those heretics in the 2nd and 3rd centuries who denied the doctrine of the Trinity.
