Anhypostasis and Enhypostasis

Christ's humanity is fully real, yet has no person of its own

This paired teaching refines Chalcedonian Christology: Christ's human nature is complete and real, yet it has no independent personhood of its own (anhypostasis) and instead subsists within the person of the divine Word (enhypostasis). Developed by Leontius of Byzantium and John of Damascus, it explains how Jesus can be truly human without being a second, separate person standing alongside the eternal Son.
