Theodotus of Byzantium (Ancient Greek: Θεόδoτoς Theodotos; also known as Theodotus the Tanner, Theodotus the Shoemaker, Theodotus the Cobbler, and Theodotus the Fuller; flourished late 2nd century) was a dynamic monarchian theologian from Byzantium, one of several named Theodotus whose writings were condemned as heresy in the early church. Theodotus held the profession of a leatherworker or fuller in Byzantium. He taught that Jesus was a virgin born man and, though he later received the spirit of God upon baptism (that is to say, he received the Christ in the form of a dove, thus according to Hippolytus agreed with Gnostics), he was not himself God (or "a god") until after his resurrection. This Christology, now referred to as "Dynamic Monarchianism" by modern scholars, was declared heretical by Pope Victor I, and Theodotus was excommunicated. Read more on Wikipedia
