In 4th-century Christianity, the Anomoeans , also known as Heterousians , Aetians , or Eunomians , were a sect that held to an extreme form of Arianism, claiming that Jesus was neither of the same nature (homoousian) as God the Father nor even a similar nature to God the Father (homoiousian)—the latter being maintained by the semi-Arians.
==Overview== The word anomoean comes from Greek (an-) 'not' and (homoios) 'similar', thus 'different; dissimilar'. In the 4th century, during the reign of Constantius II, this was the name by which the followers of Aëtius and Eunomius were described. The term heterousian derives from Greek , heterooúsios 'differing in substance' from , héteros 'another' and , ousía 'substance, being'.
