The theological doctrine asserting that Christ possessed two distinct wills—a divine will and a human will—that worked in perfect harmony.
From 'dyo' (two) + 'thele' (will) + '-ism' (system of belief). This doctrine was formalized at the Sixth Ecumenical Council (680 CE) as the orthodox Christian position on Christ's nature.
Dyotheletism won out in a dramatic church council where theologians voted on whether Jesus had one will or two—and the 'two wills' side won, shaping Christianity for the next 1,300+ years!
