Gereja di Timur menata diri menjadi [[Gereja nasional]] [[Kekaisaran Sasaniyah|Kemaharajaan Persia Sasani]] dalam [[Konsili Seleukia-Ktesifon]] tahun 410. Pada tahun 424, Gereja di Timur mengumumkan kemandiriannya dari [[Gereja negara Kekaisaran Romawi|tatanan Gereja]] di [[Kekaisaran Romawi]]. Kepala Gereja di Timur adalah [[Batrik Gereja di Timur|Batrik di Timur]] yang bertakhta di [[Provinsi Kebatrikan Seleukia-Ktesifon|Seleukia-Ktesifon]] selaku penerus suksesi kepemimpinan yang (menurut tradisi Gereja di Timur) bermula pada [[Zaman Apostolik]]. Menurut tradisinya sendiri, Gereja di Timur didirikan [[Tomas|Rasul Tomas]] pada abad pertama. Ritus liturgisnya adalah ritus Suryani Timur yang menggunakan [[Liturgi Adai dan Mari|Liturgi Suci Santo Adai dan Santo Mari]].
Sebagai bagian dari [[Gereja Raya]], Gereja di Timur menjalin [[koinonia|persekutuan]] dengan Gereja-Gereja di Kekaisaran Romawi sampai [[Konsili Efesus]] [[Skisma Nestorian|menganatema]] [[Nestorius]] pada tahun 431.<ref name="Wilken 2013"/> Para pendukung Nestorius berbondong-bondong mengungsi ke Persia. Karena menolak ikut-ikutan menganatema Nestorius, Gereja di Timur dituding menganut paham [[Nestorianisme]], bidat yang konon diajarkan Nestorius. Inilah sebabnya Gereja Barat dan semua Gereja Timur lainnya, baik dari golongan Kalsedon maupun dari golongan non-Kalsedon, melabeli Gereja di Timur dengan sebutan "Gereja Nestorian". Dari segi politik, Persia dan Roma ketika itu sedang berperang, sehingga Gereja di Timur terpaksa menjaga jarak dengan Gereja-Gereja di wilayah Romawi.<ref>Procopius, ''Wars'', I.7.1–2<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 62</ref><ref>Joshua the Stylite, ''Chronicle'', [http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/joshua_the_stylite_02_trans.htm XLIII] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210214033122/http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/joshua_the_stylite_02_trans.htm |date=2021-02-14 }}<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 62</ref><ref>Procopius, ''Wars'', I.9.24<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 77</ref> Belakangan ini, para sarjana menyifatkan sebutan "Nestorian" sebagai "sebutan keliru yang patut disesali",{{sfn|Brock|1996|p=23–35}}{{sfn|Brock|2006|p=1-14}} dan tidak tepat secara teologis.{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=4}} Gereja di Timur sendiri pun menyebut diri "Nestorian", menganatema Konsili Efesus, dan menggelari Nestorius sebagai [[santo]] di dalam liturginya.{{sfn|Joseph|2000|p=42}}{{sfn|Wood|2013|p=140}} Meskipun demikian, para ahli kristologi Gereja di Timur pada akhirnya bersidang dan meratifikasi keputusan [[Konsili Kalsedon]] dalam Sinode Mar [[Aba I]] tahun 544.<ref>{{cite book|last=Moffett|first=Samuel H.|title=A History of Christianity in Asia.

Sebagai golongan ''[[dzimmi|zimi]]'' di bawah [[Penaklukan Persia oleh Muslim|daulat Islam di Persia]] (633-654), Gereja di Timur memainkan peran utama di dalam sejarah [[Kekristenan di Asia]]. Antara abad ke-9 sampai abad ke-14, Gereja di Timur merupakan [[denominasi Kristen]] terbesar di dunia dari segi luas geografis. Gereja di Timur mendirikan [[Keuskupan-keuskupan Gereja di Timur sampai tahun 1318|keuskupan-keuskupan]] dan paguyuban-paguyuban dari [[Laut Tengah]] serta [[Irak]] dan [[Iran]] sekarang ini, sampai ke [[India (provinsi gerejawi Suryani Timur)|India]] ([[Kristen Santo Tomas|umat Kristen Santo Tomas pengamal ritus Suryani]] di [[Kerala]]), [[Kekristenan di kalangan bangsa Mongol|kerajaan-kerajaan bangsa Mongol]] di Asia Tengah, dan [[dinasti Tang|kemaharajaan kulawangsa Tang]] di [[Gereja dari Timur di Tiongkok|Tiongkok]] (abad ke-7 sampai abad ke-9). Pada abad ke-13 dan ke-14, Gereja di Timur mengalami masa-masa ekspansi terakhirnya di bawah daulat [[kekaisaran Mongol|kemaharajaan bangsa Mongol]], yakni masa-masa ketika para rohaniwan Gereja di Timur duduk di dalam majelis istana Mongol.
Bahkan sebelum kehilangan sebagian besar wilayah pelayanannya pada abad ke-14, Gereja di Timur sudah kehilangan pijakan di kandang sendiri. Kemerosotan ini tampak pada penurunan jumlah keuskupan yang masih aktif. Sekitar tahun 1000, ada lebih dari enam puluh keuskupan di kawasan Timur Dekat, tetapi pada pertengahan abad ke-13 sudah tinggal sepertiganya saja, kemudian turun lagi menjadi tujuh keuskupan sesudah [[Timur Leng]] berkuasa.{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=84-89}} Sesudah kemaharajaan bangsa Mongol terpecah belah, para penguasa Tionghoa dan Mongol Islam mengusir bahkan nyaris memusnahkan Gereja di Timur maupun umatnya. Sesudah itu, hanya di daerah Mesopotamia Hulu dan [[Pesisir Malabar]] (sekarang [[Kerala]], India) sajalah keuskupan-keuskupan Gereja di Timur dapat ditemukan.
Skisma memecah belah Gereja ini, tetapi pada akhirnya tersisa dua kebatrikan pada tahun 1830, yakni [[Gereja Asiria Timur|Gereja Asyur di Timur]] dan [[Gereja Katolik Kaldea]] (salah satu [[Gereja Katolik Timur]] yang bersatu dengan [[Takhta Suci]]). [[Gereja Purba di Timur]] pecah dari Gereja Asyur di Timur pada tahun 1968. Pada tahun 2017, umat Gereja Katolik Kaldea diperkirakan berjumlah 628.405 jiwa,<ref>[http://www.cnewa.org/source-images/Roberson-eastcath-statistics/eastcatholic-stat17.pdf The Eastern Catholic Churches 2017] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181024215818/http://www.cnewa.org/source-images/Roberson-eastcath-statistics/eastcatholic-stat17.pdf |date=2018-10-24 }}

Kemandirian Kepala Gereja di Timur sudah dimaklumkan pada tahun 424, 9 tahun sebelum penyelenggaraan [[Konsili Efesus]], konsili yang menganatema [[Nestorius]] dan memaklumkan bahwa [[Maria|Maria, ibunda Yesus]], dapat disifatkan sebagai [[Theotokos|Bunda
Dari segi teologi, Gereja di Timur mengadopsi [[diofisitisme|doktrin diofisit]] yang menitikberatkan perbedaan [[persatuan hipostatik|kodrat ilahi dan kodrat insani]] [[Pandangan Kristen tentang Yesus|Yesus]].

{{Utama|Nestorianisme|Skisma Nestorian}}
[[Nestorianisme]] adalah doktrin [[kristologi]]s yang menitikberatkan perbedaan antara kodrat insani dan kodrat ilahi [[Yesus]]. Doktrin ini dinisbatkan kepada [[Nestorius]], [[Patriark Oikumenis Konstantinopel|Batrik Konstantinopel]] dari tahun 428 sampai tahun 431. Doktrin Nestorius merupakan puncak pencapaian mazhab filsafati yang dikembangkan para sarjana [[Perguruan Katekese Antiokhia]], teristimewa [[Teodorus dari Mopsuestia]], guru Nestorius. Kontroversi timbul ketika Nestorius secara terbuka menggugat pemberian gelar ''[[Theotokos|Teotokos]]'' (arti harfiahnya "Sang Pelahir
Selepas tahun 431, pemerintah Kekaisaran Romawi berusaha melenyapkan paham Nestorianisme. Inilah alasan umat Kristen di Persia menyukai Nestorianisme. Menganut paham yang ditentang pemerintah Romawi adalah cara untuk menghapus kecurigaan pemerintah Persia bahwa umat Kristen di Persia adalah antek-antek Kekaisaran Romawi.<ref name=Britannica/><ref name=BritannicaNestorius>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/409867/Nestorius "Nestorius"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317060817/http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/409867/Nestorius |date=2015-03-17 }}.

Tidak lama sesudah [[Konsili Kalsedon]] tahun 451, barulah Gereja di Timur merumuskan teologi yang berbeda dari Nestorianisme. Rumusan teologi ini pertama kali diadopsi di dalam [[Sinode Bet Lapat]] tahun 484, dan dikembangkan lebih lanjut pada permulaan abad ke-7, ketika Kekaisaran Persia Sasani berhasil mendaulat daerah luas yang didiami umat Suryani Barat dari Kekaisaran Romawi. Banyak di antara umat Suryani Barat tersebut mengusung teologi [[miafisitisme|miafisit]], yang disebut "Monofisitisme" ([[Eutikianisme]]) oleh lawan-lawan mereka, yakni pandangan teologi yang sangat bertolak belakang dengan Nestorianisme. Kebijakan Gereja di Timur ini mendapatkan dukungan dari
Keabsahan penisbatan Nestorianisme kepada [[Nestorius]], tokoh yang dihormati Gereja di Timur sebagai [[santo]], dipertanyakan.{{sfn|Bethune-Baker|1908|p=82-100}}{{sfn|Brock|1996|p=23–35}} David Wilmshurst berpendapat bahwa berabad-abad lamanya "kata 'Nestorian' digunakan baik sebagai istilah yang melecehkan oleh pihak-pihak yang tidak sejalan dengan teologi Suryani Timur maupun sebagai istilah kebanggaan oleh banyak pihak yang membela teologi Suryani Timur [...] dan sebagai istilah deskriptif yang netral dan dirasa tepat oleh pihak-pihak lain. Sekarang ini istilah tersebut
Di luar dari makna religiusnya, kata "Nestorian" dipakai pula dengan makna etnis, sebagaimana tampak pada frasa "umat Nestorian Katolik".<ref>
Dalam artikel ''"The 'Nestorian' Church: a lamentable misnomer"'', yang dimuat dalam jurnal ''[[Bulletin of the John Rylands Library]]'' tahun 1996, [[Sebastian Brock]], salah seorang ''[[Fellow of the British Academy]]'', meratapi kenyataan bahwa "istilah 'Gereja Nestorian' sudah menjadi sebutan standar bagi Gereja timur purba yang pada masa lampau menyebut diri 'Gereja di Timur', tetapi yang sekarang ini lebih menyukai istilah 'Gereja Asyur di Timur' yang lebih lengkap.

Sama seperti Gereja-Gereja lain, Gereja di Timur memiliki rohaniwan-rohaniwan [[penahbisan|tertahbis]] dalam tiga jenjang jabatan tradisional, yakni [[uskup]], [[imam]] (atau [[presbiter]]), dan [[diakon]]. Sama seperti Gereja-Gereja lain, Gereja di Timur menerapkan [[episkopal|tatanan keuskupan]], yakni pengelompokan umat menjadi [[keuskupan]]-keuskupan yang masing-masing dikepalai seorang uskup. Umat di tiap keuskupan masih dikelompokkan lagi menjadi [[paroki]]-paroki yang masing-masing dipimpin seorang imam. Keuskupan-keuskupan yang berdekatan dikelompokkan menjadi satu [[provinsi gerejawi|provinsi]] di bawah kepemimpinan seorang [[uskup metropolit|uskup metropolitan]]. Uskup metropolitan adalah jabatan yang penting, karena mengemban tugas-tugas maupun wewenang tambahan. Berdasarkan hukum kanon, hanya uskup-uskup metropolitan yang berhak [[konsekrasi|mengonsekrasi]] batrik.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=21-22}} Selain menjadi kepala Gereja, batrik juga mengepalai [[kebatrikan|provinsi kebatrikan]].
Hampir sepanjang sejarahnya, Gereja di Timur memiliki kurang lebih 6 provinsi di dalam daerah basis. Pada tahun 410, provinsi-provinsi tersebut adalah (diurut berdasarkan hierarki) [[provinsi Batrik Seleukia-Ktesifon|Seleukia-Ktesifon]] (Irak Tengah), [[Bet Huzaye (Provinsi Gerejawi Suryani Timur)|Bet Lapat]] (Iran Barat), [[Nisibis (Provinsi Gerejawi Suryani Timur)|Nisibis]] (perbatasan Turki-Irak), [[Maisyan (Provinsi Gerejawi Suryani Timur)|Prat de Maishan]] (Basra, Irak Selatan), [[Adiabene (Provinsi Gerejawi Suryani Timur)|Arbela]] (Erbil, daerah Turkestan di Irak), dan [[Bet Garmaï (Provinsi Gerejawi Suryani Timur)|Karka de Bet Slokh]] (Kirkuk, Irak Timur Laut). Selain itu, Gereja Timur juga membawahi provinsi-provinsi di luar daerah basis yang jumlahnya terus bertambah. Provinsi-provinsi di luar daerah basis Gereja di Timur mula-mula terbentuk di wilayah Kemaharajaan Persia Sasani, tetapi tidak lama kemudian terbentuk pula di luar batas-batas wilayah negara itu.

Provinsi gerejawi di Tiongkok bubar pada abad ke-11, provinsi-provinsi lain menyusul pada abad-abad selanjutnya. Meskipun demikian, pada abad ke-13, Gereja di Timur membentuk dua provinsi gerejawi baru di [[Tiongkok Utara]], yakni Provinsi Tanggut dan Provinsi 'Katai dan Ong'.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=4}}

[[Pesyita]], yang sudah sedikit direvisi dan ditambahi kitab-kitab yang semula tidak termasuk di dalamnya, adalah [[Syriac versions of the Bible|Alkitab Suryani]] standar bagi Gereja-Gereja bertradisi Suryani, yaitu [[Gereja Ortodoks Suriah|Gereja Ortodoks Suryani]], [[Gereja Katolik Suriah|Gereja Katolik Suryani]], [[Gereja Asiria Timur|Gereja Asyur di Timur]], [[Gereja Purba di Timur]], [[Gereja Katolik Kaldea]], [[Gereja Maronit]], [[Gereja Suryani Ortodoks Malangkara]], [[Gereja Katolik Siro-Malabar|Gereja Katolik Suryani Malabar]], dan [[Gereja Katolik Siro-Malankara|Gereja Katolik Suryani Malangkara]].
[[Perjanjian Lama]] Pesyita diterjemahkan dari [[bahasa Ibrani]], kendati tarikh maupun tempat penerjemahannya tidak betul-betul jelas. Para penerjemahnya mungkin adalah orang-orang Yahudi penutur bahasa Suryani atau orang-orang Yahudi pertama yang memeluk agama Kristen. Mungkin teks demi teks diterjemahkan terpisah-pisah, dan kemungkinan besar penerjemahkan dituntaskan sepenuhnya pada abad ke-2. Rata-rata [[Biblical apocrypha|kitab deuterokanonika Perjanjian Lama]] memiliki terjemahan Suryaninya, dan kitab [[Kebijaksanaan Sirakh]] diyakini diterjemahkan dari [[bahasa Ibrani]], bukan dari [[Septuaginta]].<ref>
[[Perjanjian Baru]] Pesyita, yang mula-mula tidak mencakup kitab-kitab yang diragukan keasliannya ([[2 Petrus]], [[2 Yohanes]], [[3 Yohanes]], [[Surat Yudas]], [[Kitab Wahyu|Wahyu]]), sudah menjadi bentuk Pesyita standar pada awal abad ke-5.

Pada abad ke-19, kerap
Ada bukti sastrawi maupun arkeologi mengenai keberadaan citra-citra religius di dalam gereja. Pada tahun 1248, seorang pejabat [[Armenia]] di [[Samarkand]] menulis laporan kunjungannya ke sebuah gereja di kota itu dan melihat sendiri sebuah gambar Kristus dan orang-orang Majus. Dalam laporannya mengenai 1330 jiwa umat Suryani Timur di [[Khanbaliq]], Yohanes dari Kora ({{lang|it|Giovanni di Cori|italic=no}}), Uskup [[Sultaniyah]] Ritus latin di Persia, menyebutkan bahwa mereka memiliki ‘gereja-gereja yang sangat indah dan apik, lengkap dengan salib-salib dan gambar-gambar untuk memuliakan Tuhan dan orang-orang kudus’.<ref name=ICE /> Selain keterangan-keterangan tersebut, ada pula [[lukisan seorang tokoh Kristen Nestorian]] (kemungkinan besar gambar Kristus) yang ditemukan [[Aurel Stein]] pada tahun 1908 di Gua Perpustakaan, salah satu dari gua-[[gua Mogao]].
Arca pria berbahan lepa seukuran manusia asli ditemukan di sebuah gereja dari akhir abad ke-6 di [[Almada'in|Seleukia-Ktesifon]], yang di bawah fondasinya ditemukan bekas-bekas bangunan gereja lain yang lebih tua, juga menunjukkan bahwa Gereja di Timur menggunakan representasi-representasi figuratif.{{sfn|Baumer|2006|p=75, 94}}

Meskipun umat Kristen Nestorian mengaku sebagai kelanjutan dari jemaat Kristen Perdana yang terbentuk pada abad pertama Masehi, Gereja di Timur pertama kali mendapatkan pengakuan resmi dari pemerintah Kemaharajaan Sasani pada abad ke-4, tatkala [[Yazdegerd I]] (menjabat 399–420) naik takhta. [[Sinode Seleukia-Ktesifon]] yang diselenggarakan di ibu kota Kemaharajaan Sasani pada tahun 410 membenarkan uskup-uskup Gereja di Timur untuk memilih seorang [[Katolikos di Timur|katolikos]] (pemimpin) resmi. [[Katolikos]] [[Ishak dari Seleukia-Ktesifon|Ishak]] diwajibkan memimpin jemaat Kristen Asyur sekaligus menjadi penyambung lidah mereka di hadapan [[Daftar kepala monarki Kekaisaran Sasani|para syahansyah Sasani]].{{sfn|Fiey|1970}}{{sfn|Chaumont|1988}}
Di bawah tekanan syahansyah Sasani, Gereja di Timur kian lama kian menjarak dari [[Pentarki]] (saat itu dikenal sebagai Gereja [[Kekaisaran Romawi Timur]]). Oleh karena itu, pada tahun 424, uskup-uskup di Kemaharajaan Sasani bersidang di bawah pimpinan Katolikos [[Dadisyo]] (421–456) dan sepakat untuk seterusnya tidak merujuk kepada pihak berwenang mana pun di luar negeri dalam urusan-urusan tata tertib maupun teologi, khususnya kepada uskup atau konsili Gereja di [[Kekaisaran Romawi]].{{sfn|Hill|1988|p=105}}
Kontroversi teologis yang timbul seusai [[Konsili Efesus]] tahun 431 terbukti menjadi salah satu tonggak sejarah Gereja. Konsili Efesus membidatkan Kristologi [[Nestorius]], lantaran keengganannya memuliakan Perawan Maria dengan gelar ''[[Theotokos|Teotokos]]'' (Pelahir [[Tuhan]]) dijadikan bukti bahwa ia percaya ada dua pribadi terpisah (alih-alih dua kodrat manunggal) di dalam diri Kristus.
Syahansyah Sasani yang memusuhi Romawi Timur memanfaatkan kontroversi ini sebagai kesempatan untuk membina umat Kristen Persia menjadi kawula yang setia kepada negara, sehingga memutuskan untuk mendukung [[skisma Nestorian]]. Syahansyah mengambil langkah-langkah untuk menjadikan para pengikut Nestorius sebagai golongan utama di dalam lingkup Gereja Asyur di Timur dengan memberi suaka kepada mereka,{{sfn|Outerbridge|1952}} menghukum mati Katolikos [[Babowai]] yang pro-Romawi pada tahun 484, dan menggantinya dengan [[Barsauma]], Uskup [[Nusaybin|Nisibis]] yang berhaluan Nestorian. Katolikos-Batrik [[Babai (Batrik Nestorian)|Babai]] (497–503) mengukuhkan keterkaitan Gereja Asyur dengan Nestorianisme.

Patriarch [[Timothy I (Nestorian Patriarch)|Timothy I]] (780–823), a contemporary of the Caliph [[Harun al-Rashid]], took a particularly keen interest in the missionary expansion of the Church of the East. He is known to have consecrated metropolitans for Damascus, for [[Armenia (East Syrian Diocese)|Armenia]], for Dailam and Gilan in Azerbaijan, for [[Rai (East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province)|Rai]] in Tabaristan, for Sarbaz in Segestan, for the [[Turkic peoples|Turks]] of Central Asia, for China, and possibly also for [[Tibet]]. He also detached India from the metropolitan province of [[Fars (East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province)|Fars]] and made it a separate metropolitan province, known as [[India (East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province)|India]].{{sfn|Fiey|1993|p=47 (Armenia), 72 (Damascus), 74 (Dailam and Gilan), 94–6 (India), 105 (China), 124 (Rai), 128–9 (Sarbaz), 128 (Samarqand and Beth Turkaye), 139 (Tibet)}} By the 10th century the Church of the East had a number of dioceses stretching from across the Caliphate's territories to India and China.<ref name=Britannica/>

In 1771, [[Eliya XI]] (XII) and his designated successor (the future [[Eliya XII]] (XIII) Isho{{transl|ar|DIN|ʿ}}yahb) made a profession of faith that was accepted by Rome, thus establishing communion. By then, acceptance of the Catholic position was general in the [[Mosul]] area. When [[Eliya XI]] (XII) died in 1778, [[Eliya XII]] (XIII) made a renewed profession of Catholic faith and was recognised by Rome as Patriarch of Mosul, but in May 1779 renounced that profession in favor of the traditional faith. His younger cousin [[Yohannan VIII Hormizd|Yohannan Hormizd]] was locally elected to replace him in 1780, but for various reasons was recognised by Rome only as Metropolitan of Mosul and Administrator of the Catholics of the Alqosh party, having the powers of a Patriarch but not the title or insignia. When [[Joseph IV (Chaldean Patriarch)|Joseph IV]] of the Amid Patriarchate resigned in 1780, Rome likewise made his nephew, [[Joseph V Augustine Hindi|Augustine Hindi]], whom he wished to be his successor, not Patriarch but Administrator.
