Council of Nicaea

“The Story of the Trinity is under 200 pages long and is available in paperback for less than $20, which makes it the kind of nonintimidating object you might actually hand to a friend. But above all, you might recommend the book because of its high readability quotient.” - CToday

“While the Council of Nicaea did not specifically address the matter of military service, it nonetheless marks a critical transition point. After Nicaea, Christians were no longer simply tolerated within the empire but were instead increasingly integrated….The long-standing ambivalence about military service that marked the ante-Nicene period began to fade.” - Providence

“This New Year marks the 1,700th anniversary of [the Nicene Creed], which was produced by bishops attending Christianity’s first recognized ‘ecumenical’ (that is, universal) council, as opposed to regional councils and synods.” - Religion Unplugged

“There is no historical basis for the idea that Nicaea established the canon and created the Bible. The Biblical Canon Lists from Early Christianity and other early evidence show that Christians disputed the boundaries of the biblical canon before and after Nicaea.” - TGC
