Nicaea and Its Legacy: An Approach to Fourth-Century Trinitarian Theology Paperback - 2006

by Lewis Ayres


From the publisher

Lewis Ayres offers a new account of the most important century in the development of Christian belief after Christ. He shows how the doctrine of the Trinity was developed, and in particular argues that a conception of God's mysteriousness and spiritual progress towards understanding is central to that doctrine. He also proposes that modern theologies of the Trinity fail to appreciate the depth and power of Nicene trinitarianism.

First line

The fourth century of the Christian era witnessed a controversy that produced some of the basic principles of classical Trinitarian and Christological doctrine, the most important creed in the history of Christianity, and theological texts that have remained points of departure for Christian theology in every subsequent generation.

Description:
Oxford University Press, USA, May 2006. Paper Back. New. Ayres states that his intended audience includes students of early Christianity and modern Christian theologians. To the latter group, Ayres suggests 'that recent Trinitarian theology has engaged the legacy of Nicaea at a fairly shallow level, frequently relying on assumptions about Nicene theology that are historically indefensible.' Catholic and Orthodox theologians, he says, are especially bound to engage Nicaea, but he intends to show that 'the complex theologies of pro-Nicenes involve an attention to Scripture that should claim the attention of all who define their faith as 'scriptural.'' Ayres understands the crucial point of the ancient conflict: a proper scriptural understanding of the Son is at the heart of the Christian message. A Son less than the Father is less a Christ, and therefore, we receive a diminished salvation. The question then for the Nicenes was how to articulate distinction and avoid the… Read More
