According to the material, the claim that many barbarian tribes adopted Monophysm is true or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not stated
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer: (B)

Monophysitism is the view that Christ has a single divine nature. After the major doctrinal splits of late antiquity, the groups that many barbarian tribes joined tended to align with either Arianism or Nicene (Chalcedonian) Christianity, rather than Monophysitism. Monophysite communities were strongest in the East—Egypt, Syria, and parts of the Levant—while the Germanic and other barbarian groups that entered Western Europe largely adopted Arian Christianity or later shifted to Catholic (Chalcedonian) orthodoxy. Because the material shows that Monophysitism did not become the widespread faith among these barbarian peoples, the claim is not supported.
