Dyophysitism

Dyophysitism (/daɪˈɒfɪsaɪtɪzəm/;^[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 accepted the majority of Christian communions, including the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Anglicanism, Reformed Christianity and Lutheranism. It was rejected by the Oriental Orthodox churches, who held to Miaphysitism – however they too condemned the converse position of Monophyisitism as heresy alongside the rest of mainstream Christianity.

Those who insisted on the "two natures" formula were referred to as dyophysites (/daɪˈɒfəsaɪts/). It is related to the doctrine of the hypostatic union.
