Christian Lange - Miaenergetism - A New Term for the History of Dogma?

The Christological discussions of the 6^th and 7^th centuries are often referred to as “Monenergetic” or “Monothelete” Controversies.

It is the aim of this paper to suggest a new term for the History of Dogma: “Miaenergetism”. It will argue that the formula of the “mia energeia” was understood as a “combined” operation of the perfect Godhead and Manhood in Christ –and that by both Neochalcedonian and Miaphysite authors.
