The History of the First Council of Nice

The History of the First Council of Nice is a book written by Dean Dudley that provides a detailed account of the events leading up to and during the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD. This council was a significant event in early Christianity as it was the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church and was convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine I. The book covers the theological and political issues that led to the council's formation, including the Arian controversy, which concerned the nature of Jesus Christ and his relationship to God the Father. Dudley's account also includes the debates and discussions that took place during the council, as well as the decisions that were made and their impact on the Christian Church. The History of the First Council of Nice provides a comprehensive overview of this important event in Christian history and is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology, religion, and history.A World's Christian Convention A.D. 325 with a Life of Constantine. �������The words Council, Synod, and Convention are synonymous.
