Monotheletism is a theological doctrine that emerged in the 7th century, proposing that Jesus Christ has two natures—divine and human—but only one will. This belief aimed to reconcile differences between the Chalcedonian and Monophysite positions regarding Christ's nature and will, seeking unity within the Christian community. The doctrine was officially rejected at the Third Council of Constantinople in 681 AD, which affirmed that Christ possesses both a divine will and a human will. This rejection was significant in shaping the understanding of Christ's dual nature in mainstream Christian theology.
