Nature of Jesus
The Nature of Jesus Christ is widely debated subject amongst different Christian denominations. The most widely held view is Dyophysitism, formalised at the Council of Chalcedon. This view teaches that Jesus has two natures, one human and one divine. It is the view held by all Reformed churches, the Roman Catholic church, the Eastern Orthodox churches, the Lutheran churches and the Anglican Communion.
A form of Dyophysitism is technically held by the Church of the East, though this is rejected by all other denominations as the non-Chalcedonian heresy of Nestorianism.
The second most common view is Miaphysitism, which teaches that Jesus has one nature, which is both human and divine. This is the view held by the Oriental Orthodox churches.
Other views which have since fallen out of common use include Monophysitism, Eutychianism and Apollinarism.
