History of the Council of Nice: A World's Christian Convention, A. D. 325 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Council of Nice: A World's Christian Convention, A. D. 325
The Roman Catholic Church recognizes nineteen general councils, - the first a.d. 50, the second, 325, at N iema, and the last, 1512; but there was no general council held in the year 50, according to the best authorities, so that the Council of Nice was unquestionably the first that was ever convened, and certainly it is the most celebrated in the whole history of the Christian Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of a pivotal moment in early Christian history: the Council of Nice. Convened by Emperor Constantine in A.D. 325, this gathering of bishops aimed to address the growing controversy surrounding Arianism, a theological doctrine that challenged the established understanding of Christ's divinity. The author meticulously reconstructs the events and debates of the council, drawing on accounts from various historical figures present at the deliberations. Through a documentary style, the book offers readers a front-row seat to the intellectual and theological clashes that shaped the course of Christian thought. It explores the arguments of both the Arian and Orthodox factions, shedding light on the complex web of beliefs, personalities, and political considerations at play. The Council of Nice emerges as a microcosm of the broader struggle within the early church to define its core doctrines and maintain unity amidst diversity. Beyond the Arian controversy, the book also examines other significant issues addressed by the council, including the Meletian schism and the appropriate date for celebrating Easter. By providing a comprehensive and nuanced account of this landmark event, the author illuminates the enduring legacy of the Council of Nice and its profound impact on the development of Christian theology and practice. The insights gleaned from this historical exploration offer valuable lessons for understanding contemporary theological debates and appreciating the complexities of religious doctrine and identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282460389_0
