Monophysitism
Monophysitism (from the Greek monos meaning 'one, alone' and physis meaning 'nature') is the Christological position that Christ has only one nature, as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has two natures, one divine and one human. Monophysitism and its antithesis, Nestorianism, were both hotly disputed and divisive competing tenets in the maturing Christian traditions during the first half of the fifth century; a tumultuous period being the last decades of the Western Empire, and marked by the political shift in all things to a center of gravity now located in the Eastern Roman empire, and particularly in Syria, the LevantEgypt, and Anatolia, where Monophysitism was popular among the people.
