Dyothelism

/ˌdaɪ.ə.ˈθɛl.ɪz.əm/ noun

Definition

An alternative spelling or variant form of dyotheletism, referring to the doctrine of two wills in Christ.

Etymology

A variant of dyotheletism that omits the '-et-' infix, creating a streamlined version. Both forms circulated in theological literature, with this version appearing in some historical texts.

Kelly Says

Language changes over time—even in formal theology, people abbreviated and simplified words, which is why you see both 'dyotheletism' and 'dyothelism' used interchangeably in medieval religious texts!
