Christological Controversy

The Christological Controversy was a historical debate within Christianity about understanding Jesus Christ's true nature—specifically, how divine and human aspects coexist in him. Early theologians debated whether Jesus was fully divine, fully human, or both, and how these qualities related. These discussions shaped key doctrines like the nature of the Trinity and Christ’s identity. The controversy was essential in defining orthodox beliefs and led to various church councils that clarified Jesus' dual nature as both God and man, helping to establish the foundational teachings of Christianity.
