Introduction

The Council of Chalcedon, page 451 promulgated a statement aimed at settling the controversy between the Alexandrian and the Antiochian schools of Christology. The statement can be found printed on your outlines on page 2, so I would encourage you to read along with me as I read aloud. Here's what the Council declared: We confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,. Also perfect in manhood, truly God and truly man of a reasonable soul and body.
