1. Monothelitism

   Monothelitism, or monotheletism (from Greek: μονοθελητισμός, romanized: monothelētismós, lit. 'doctrine of one will'), is a theological doctrine in Christianity, that holds Christ as having only one will. The doctrine is thus contrary to dyothelitism, a Christological doctrine that holds Christ as having two wills (divine and human). Historically, monothelitism was closely related to monoenergism, a theological doctrine that holds Jesus Christ as having only one energy. Both doctrines were at the center of Christological disputes during the 7th century.Theological notions related to the oneness of Christ's will emerged as a result of some earlier Christological controversies, that were related to monophysitism as formulated by Eutyches (d. 456), and miaphysitism as formulated by non-Chalcedonian followers of Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444). Since the notion of Christ's one nature implied the oneness of his will, ecclesiastical and political elites of the Eastern Roman Empire tried (during the 7th century) to promote monothelitism as a unifying doctrine, that would reconcile divided Christian factions. In spite of strong imperial support, those attempts failed, and monothelitism was consequently rejected and denounced as heresy in 680–681, at the Council of Constantinople, the sixth ecumenical council.

1. monothelitism

   Monothelitism is a religious doctrine from the seventh-century Byzantine Church, asserting that Jesus Christ had two natures, divine and human, but only one divine will. The doctrine is a variant of miaphysitism and contrasts with dyothelitism, the belief that Jesus Christ has two wills (human and divine) as well as two natures. Monothelitism, considered heretical by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, was condemned at the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) in 681.

1. Monothelitism

   Monothelitism or Monotheletism is a particular teaching about how the divine and human relate in the person of Jesus, known as a Christological doctrine, that formally emerged in Armenia and Syria in 629. Specifically, monothelitism is the view that Jesus Christ has two natures but only one will. This is contrary to the Christology that Jesus Christ has two wills corresponding to his two natures. Monothelitism is a development of the miaphysite or monophysite position in the Christological debates. Formulated in 638, it enjoyed considerable popularity, even garnering patriarchal support, before being rejected and denounced as heretical in 681.
