Non-Chalcedonian Christianity
Branches of Christianity that do not accept resolutions of the Council of Chalcedon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Neo-Chalcedonism.
Non-Chalcedonian Christianity comprises the branches of Christianity that do not accept theological resolutions of the Council of Chalcedon, the Fourth Ecumenical Council, held in 451.[1] Non-Chalcedonian denominations reject the Christological Definition of Chalcedon (which asserted Dyophysitism), for varying reasons.[2] Non-Chalcedonian Christianity thus stands in contrast to Chalcedonian Christianity.
