Dyophysitism

Icon of Christ the Pantocrator. The Icon represents the dual nature of Christ, illustrating traits of both man and God.[1]

Dyophysitism (/dˈɒfɪstɪzəm/;[2] from Greek δύο dyo, "two" and φύσις physis, "nature") is the Christological position that Jesus Christ is one person of one substance and one hypostasis, with two distinct, inseparable natures, divine and human.[3] It is related to the doctrine of the hypostatic union. Those who insisted on the "two natures" formula were referred to as dyophysites (/dˈɒfəsts/).
