Studies Of Arianism: Chiefly Referring To The Character And Chronology Of The Reaction Which Followed The Council Of Nicea - Paperback

by Henry Melvill Gwatkin (Author)

""Studies of Arianism"" is a scholarly work by Henry Melvill Gwatkin that delves into the history and theology of Arianism, a 4th-century Christian heresy that denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. The book primarily focuses on the aftermath of the Council of Nicea, which was convened in 325 CE to settle the Arian controversy. Gwatkin examines the character and chronology of the reaction to the council, which saw Arianism persist and even gain ground in some areas of the Christian world. The book offers a detailed analysis of the theological debates and political struggles that shaped the Arian controversy, as well as the key figures involved in the conflict, such as Arius, Athanasius, and Constantine. Gwatkin's work is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology, as well as anyone interested in the development of Christian doctrine and the role of religion in shaping political and cultural history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
