Dyophysite creed

Christology

Dyophysitism (Greek: δυοφυσιτισμός, from δυο (dyo), meaning "two" and φύσις (physis), meaning "nature") is a theological term used within the Christian studies for describing the Christological position that states the existence of two natures (divine and human) in the person of Jesus Christ. In that sense, the term is used as an opposite to the terms monophysitism and miaphysitism, all of them having distinctive ecumenical relevance.

Development of dyophysite Christology was gradual, and its complex terminology was finally formulated as a result of long christological debates that were constant during 4th and 5th century. The importance of dyophysitism was often emphasized by prominent representatives of the Antiochene School. After many debates and several councils, dyophysitism gained its official ecclesiastical form at the Fourth Ecumenical Council, held in Chalcedon in 451. Since then, the Chalcedonian Definition became basis for christological doctrine of the two natures of Jesus Christ, that is held up to present day by majority of Christian churches, including: Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Catholic Churches, Anglican Church, Old Catholic Church, and various other Christian denominations.
