Abstract

The article commemorates the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD, which is recognized as the first ecumenical council in ecclesiastical history. It features original articles that offer new interpretations based on recent research, organized thematically from broader to more specific topics. Key discussions include the political context of the council under Emperor Constantine, who aimed to unify the Empire religiously, and the theological debates among prominent figures such as Ossius of Cordova, Eusebius of Nicomedia, and Alexander of Alexandria. The articles explore the contrasting theological concepts of homoousios (identity) and homoiousios (likeness) as they relate to the nature of the relationship between the Father and the Son.
