Dyoenergism (derived from
Greek as term for "two energies") is a particular
Christological doctrine that teaches the existence of two energies (divine and human) in the person of
Jesus Christ. Specifically, dyoenergism correlates the distinctiveness of two energies with the existence of two specific natures (divine and human) in the person of Jesus Christ (
dyophysitism), and rejects
monoenergism. Therefore, dyoenergism teaches that Jesus Christ acts through two energies, divine and human. The
Sixth Ecumenical Council in 680-681 reaffirmed dyoenergism as church doctrine.
