Monarchianism

Monarchianism is a Christian doctrine that emphasizes God as one indivisible being, in direct contrast to Trinitarianism, which defines the Godhead as three co-eternal, consubstantial, co-immanent, and equally divine hypostases.

==History== During the patristic period, Christian theologians attempted to clarify the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Monarchianism developed in the 2nd century and persisted further into the 3rd century. Monarchianism (from the Greek monarkhia, meaning "ruling of one," and -ismos, meaning "practice or teaching") stresses the absolute, uncompromising unity of God .
