Monophysitism (/məˈnɒfɪsaɪtɪzəm/mə-NOF-ih-seye-tih-zəm[1]) or monophysism (/məˈnɒfɪzɪzəm/mə-NOF-ih-zih-zəm; from Greek μόνοςmonos, "solitary"[2] and φύσιςphysis, "nature") is a Christology that states that in the person of the incarnated Word (that is, in Jesus Christ) there was only one nature—the divine.[3]
