Essay 2
What did the Council of Chalcedon Achieve?
This essay affirms that the Council of Chalcedon made significant achievements with regards to the person of Christ. The aim of the Council was not to write a new creed but to re-enforce previous creeds and also to produce a statement of faith defining orthodox Christology. The Council?s aim was to stop the controversy and arguments caused by the extremism of Nestorianism and Euytichianism. At the council, Eutyches was condemned, and Dioscorus was excommunicated and deposed of his position as bishop. Also, the two natures of Christ namely, full divinity and full humanity which cannot be changed nor separated in the one person of Christ was affirmed as orthodox.
