Hypostatic Union
Fully God and fully human, united in one person without confusion
The hypostatic union holds that in Christ the divine and human natures are united in one single person without confusion or separation. Articulated by Cyril of Alexandria and defined at the Council of Chalcedon, it became the touchstone of orthodox Christology for many. The Oriental Orthodox, often called miaphysite, express the union differently while equally affirming Christ's full divinity and full humanity, so the traditions differ in formulation more than in core conviction.
