Synopsis

This book examines monophysitism, a Christological heresy that flourished in the East for several centuries after being condemned by the Church at the Council of Chalcedon in the mid-5th century. Exploring its origins, doctrines, and ethos, the author shows how monophysitism was grounded in the nature of the human mind and is still found in various forms today, underscoring the importance of its study for both historical understanding and contemporary Christian thought. The author traces the metaphysical basis of monophysitism to the philosophical concept of dualism, which holds that God and the world co-exist as separate entities, and explores how this idea influenced monophysite theologians to deny the duality of Christ's nature. The book also examines how monophysitism was influenced by pagan philosophies such as Neo-Platonism, which emphasized the unity of all existence and the subordination of the material world to the spiritual realm. Through a comprehensive analysis of monophysitism's origins and tenets, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of Christological thought and its enduring relevance to our understanding of Christ's being.
