The Nicene Creed is the defining statement of the belief of Christianity. The original Nicene Creed was first adopted at the First Council of Nicaea in 325. In 381, it was amended at the First Council of Constantinople. This anthology includes the works, speeches and studies of the most influential theological minds that cemented the facets of Christian dogma during the Nicene Council. Each author is accompanied by a detailed introduction providing insight into their life and works, illuminating their philosophical perspectives, advocacy for specific moral and religious values, and the significance of their contributions.
