Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve original studies delve into Trinitarian theology and its sustained ability to inform discourse, ecclesiology and society today.The Trinitarian doctrine lies at the heart of Christian identity, shaping theological discourse across all denominations. The Nicene Creed, recited by Christians worldwide, stands as a testament to this shared belief. While many may not be familiar with the intricacies of the controversies that birthed it, the Council of Nicaea remains a pivotal moment in Christian history. For scholars, the Council represents a perennial source of interdisciplinary intrigue, driving ongoing research and scholarly inquiry. As we approach the 1700th anniversary of this historic event, this volume re-examines past discussions, introduces fresh perspectives, and rejuvenates dialogue on a topic as relevant today as it was in the fourth century. These essays emphasise fostering constructive dialogue between Eastern and Western churches, particularly concerning the articulation of Trinitarian doctrine. This book is important reading for anybody looking to deepen their understanding of an essential aspect of Christian history and faith.
