Chapter 1 - The Controversy of the Nicene Creed Passages: Nicaea

    • Christianity

Where does the Nicene Creed come from? What figures or texts in its backstory might provide further context for, or develop the implications of, these articles of faith – some of which are less intuitive than others? Is the theology of this creed even intelligible to us today, who inhabit very different plausibility structures of the modern, secularizing West?
Joshua and Caleb discuss these questions and more as they explore the backstory to the Council of Nicaea.
'Passages' is a project from Mere Orthodoxy. 'Passages' is written and produced by Joshua Heavin and Caleb Wait, with original music from Aaron Feeney.
