Council of Nicaea Cheatsheet
The First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea is a landmark in the history of Christendom. Theological controversies, political interest, and vibrant characters make it all so exciting to learn about, so we designed a printable that takes some of the information we shared in this blog post and makes it even easier to print out as a guide for you (and potentially your children!) in learning more about our Church’s history and the impact it as on us even to this day!
First is a summary of the council itself. Below that you will find a timeline that puts the a couple of notable people and events in chronological order. Finally, there is a closer look at two of the main players at the Council of Nicaea: Alexander and Arius. Of course, we wanted to include our sources, which we also commend to you for further reading!
