Looking for information on the Council of Nicaea

What are some good resources within Logos that summarize what occurred at the Council of Nicaea? As much as I'd like to do an in depth study - time does not permit it, so I'm looking for general information. (Feel free to recommend an exhaustive resource and I'll get to it in the future). Thanks.

Ronald,

Do you have Christian History Magazine? Issue 85 was dedicated to Nicaea

Wikipedia has a pretty well organized entry on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

Normally, for church history overviews, I would suggest a historical dictionary, like the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church or the Encyclopedia of Christianity. However in this case, the wikipedia entry is better organized and more to the point than the entries in those books.

If you have a collection of church history books, you can search them for Nicaea OR Arian OR homoiousios.

This might also be a great reason to get on board with A Manual of Councils of the Holy Catholic Church. It's no longer in Community Pricing, but is still with the pre-pub price.

In addition to the suggestions above, A New Eusebius: Documents Illustrating the History of the Church to AD 337 has a chapter on Council of Nicaea, Chapter 30.

Life of the Blessed Emperor Constantine also has a nice but brief discussion from his perspective..

Christian History Magazine Issue 28 has a chapter on Nicaea as one of the 100 most important events in Church History

A section of Chapter 9 in History of the Christian Church covers it in summary too.

It's also in Encyclopedia of Christianity, Volumes 1-3, and History of Theology. All these are nice summary chapters, maybe you have one or more of these resources...

I've got the Christian History Magazine and will check out issue 85 and I'm already in for the Manual of Councils of the Holy Catholic Church. I will also check out the Wikipedia.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the tip....even at 29.00 it's a bargain
