| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the conflict that grew out of the Council of Chalcedon' s creedal statement that Christ should be acknowledged as existing 'in two natures'. Its focus is on the social aspects of the conflict between the monophysites (or mia-physites), who affirmed a unified nature in Christ, and the dyophysites, who believed that Christ's divine and human natures existed separately. In its study of this conflict, the thesis seeks to answer three questions. These are: a) How did a theologically sophisticated argument spread from a debate between a few theologians, to become a violent community conflict? b) What caused the groups involved in the conflict to polarise given that so little theological ground separated the conflicting parties and so much effort was exerted to reconcile the issue? c)Why did the conflict go through repeated cycles of open violence interspersed with periods of attempted reconciliation? | |
