'''Monothelitism''' (a Greek loanword meaning "one will") is a particular teaching about how the divine and human relate in the person of [[Jesus]], known as a [[Christology|Christological]] doctrine. Specifically, Monothelitism teaches that Jesus Christ had two natures but only one will. This is contrary to the [[Orthodoxy|orthodox]] interpretation of Christology, which teaches that [[Jesus Christ ]] has two wills (human and divine) corresponding to his two natures. Monothelitism is a development of the [[Monophysite |Monophysitism]] position in the Christological debates. It enjoyed considerable support in the 7th seventh century before being rejected as [[Heresy|heretical]]at the [[Sixth Ecumenical Council]] in 680.
