What do Christians believe? The Nicene Creed - EP6

In 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea convened to address a theological conflict that threatened the unity of Christianity: Arianism. Spearheaded by Arius of Alexandria, this doctrine argued that Jesus Christ was not co-equal with God the Father. Amidst this turmoil, Emperor Constantine sought to preserve the peace and stability of a recently unified Roman Empire. The council's decision significantly shaped Christian orthodoxy and rejected Arianism, emphasizing Jesus' equality with the Father. This episode reflects on the socio-political and religious context that defined one of Christianity's most important events.
