The '''Chalcedonian Definition''', also known as '''Chalcedonianism''' or '''Dyophysitism''', was the Christological definition formulated in the 4th century at the ecumenical [[Council of Chalcedon]]. It rejected [[Miaphysitism]], or the idea that Jesus is of one [[Nature of Jesus|nature]], which is both human and divine; [[Monophysitism]], or the idea that Jesus is of one nature, which is fully divine; and [[Nestorianism]], or the idea that the nature of Jesus is fully human, and that the nature of Christ is divine, thus separating [[Jesus Christ]]. This was to espouse Dyophysitism, or the idea that Jesus is of two natures, one human and one divine. | |||
