Well, we do have his book to read, which details his beliefs, and his letters to Cyril as well. It was all more political than Doctrinal though.
Nestorius was a Greek Orthodox Church leader, but he held to the correct teaching that was passed down from Antioch from the time of The Apostles...the Alexandrian teachers had altered the original teaching to some degree through the 2nd-4th centuries, to what later became the Monophysitism heresy, which was condemned by the whole Church in 541 A.D. and it's adherents were the ones who rejected the Council of Chalcedon's correction of Cyril?s false interpretations. Bishop Nestorius never taught what he was falsely accused of by Cyril and the later Monopysites, which even to this day is falsely ascribed to him. And because The Church of the East took in the persecuted Christians who fled their persecutors in the 5th-6th century, they were labeled "Nestorian" by many in the West...they are Orthodox, and so was Bishop Nestorius.
