This word refers to the [[Oriental Orthodoxy|Oriental Orthodox]] belief in the one composite unified [[Christology|nature of Christ]]; i.e., a belief that a complete, natural union of the divine and human natures into one is self-evident in order to accomplish the divine salvation of humankind. This is in contrast to the "two natures of Christ" belief (unmixed, but unseparated divine and human natures, called the [[hypostatic union]]) which is held by the [[Catholic Church]] and the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]. The Oriental Orthodox Churches are known as "[[Non-Chalcedonianism|non-Chalcedonian]]", and, sometimes by outsiders as "[[monophysitism|monophysite]]" (meaning "One Single Nature", in allusion to Jesus Christ). However, these churches themselves describe their Christology as [[miaphysitism|miaphysite]],{{sfn|Winkler|1997|p=33-40}}{{sfn|Brock|2016|p=45–52}} meaning "one united nature" in reference to Jesus (the Greek equivalent of "Tewahedo").
