The Nestorianism heresy maintained that Christ had two persons one human and one divine, so it condemned the use of the word Theotokos, greek for bearer or mother of God. If Jesus was two persons, then Mary gave birth only to the human person, not the divine. So, Nestorianism challenged the Churches use of the title Mother of God. A Ecumenical Council was convened in Ephesus in A.D. 431 to establish that Jesus is one person, with two natures one human and one divine, and Mary gave birth to him so she is the Mother of God.

Martin Luther wrote his official challenge to church after what?
Luther never did challenge the church, his goal was to help reform the church, not to destroy it. His complaints were called the 95 Thesis and covered a wide variety of topics. His main complaints were that the catholic church was corrupt and that the church was selling indlugences. Indulgences were a piece of paper that guarenteed you to get into heaven, or a family member that had already died to get in heaven, as well as forgiveness for sins and so on... Luther's intentions were not to cause a split, but to fix the church's problems. However the corruption was really high-up, and so it was a big scandal which hurt Christianity forever.
