Dyothelitism is a theological doctrine that asserts that Jesus Christ has two wills: a divine will and a human will. This belief emerged in the early Christian church as a response to debates about the nature of Christ, particularly during the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. Dyothelitism emphasizes that both wills operate in harmony without conflict, reflecting the dual nature of Christ as both fully divine and fully human. The doctrine stands in contrast to Monothelitism, which posits that Christ has only one will. Dyothelitism was endorsed by various church fathers and became a significant part of orthodox Christian teaching. It aims to affirm the completeness of Christ's humanity while maintaining the integrity of His divinity.
