カルケドン派キリスト教は、 451年に開催された第4回エキュメニカル公会議であるカルケドン公会議の神学的決議を受け入れ、支持するキリスト教の一派である。[ 1 ]カルケドン派キリスト教は、イエス・キリストの1つの位格における2つの性質(神性と人性)の結合に関するキリスト教の教義であるカルケドンのキリスト論的定義を受け入れており、したがってイエスは単一の人格(プロソポン)として認められている。[ 2 ] [ 3 ]カルケドン派キリスト教は、ニケア・コンスタンティノープル信条のカルケドン確認も受け入れており、カルケドン主義がニケア・キリスト教に関与していることを認めている。[ 4 ] [ 5 ]
Chalcedonian Christology is upheld by Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, Anglicanism and Calvinism (Reformed Christianity), thus comprising the overwhelming majority of Christianity.[6]
Those present at the Council of Chalcedon accepted Trinitarianism and the concept of hypostatic union, and rejected Arianism, Modalism, and Ebionism as heresies (which had also been rejected at the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325). Those present at the council also rejected the Christological doctrines of the Nestorians, Eutychians, and Monophysites.
The Chalcedonian doctrine of the Hypostatic Union states that Jesus Christ has two natures, divine and human, possessing a complete human nature while remaining one divine hypostasis. It asserts that the natures are unmixed and unconfused, with the human nature of Christ being assumed at the incarnation without any change to the divine nature. It also states that while Jesus Christ has assumed a true human nature, body and soul, which shall remain hypostatically united to his divine nature for all of eternity, he is nevertheless not a human person,[7][8][9][10] as human personhood would imply a second created hypostasis existing within Jesus Christ and violating the unity of the God-man.
The Hypostatic Union was also viewed as one nature in Roman Christianity by a minority around this time.[11] Single-nature ideas such as Apollinarism and Eutychianism were taught to explain some of the seeming contradictions in Chalcedonian Christianity.
