Synopsis

This book investigates early Christian debates regarding the nature of God and the Trinity. The author delves into the historical accounts of the controversies surrounding the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE. They argue that the idea of the Trinity as three equally divine beings is not supported by the evidence of the early church and was imposed on the church later by political forces. Instead, the author argues that the early church believed in one supreme God, the Father, and that the Son and Holy Spirit were subordinate to him. This book challenges traditional interpretations of the Trinity and sheds light on the development of Christian doctrine in the early centuries.
