Neo-Chalcedonism (also neo-Chalcedonianism) was a sixth-century theological movement in the Byzantine Empire. The term however is quite recent, first appearing in a 1909 work by J. Lebon.
==Overview== The main preoccupation of neo-Chalcedonians was specifying the nature of the hypostatic union of two natures in Christ, which was left vague in the definition of Chalcedon. The dyophysite neo-chaldeconians were chiefly opposed by the monophysites, who increasingly labelled them Nestorians, that is, deniers of the deity of Christ.
