The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) has undoubtedly been one of the most significant and polarizing events in the history of Christianity. With this popularity has come legends, myths and flat out conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the council. To add fire to the flames, the enigmatic convener of the council, Constantine the Great, has equally been one of the most talked about and misunderstood figures within the early church. In this video, I will dispel with those myths by looking deeply at the primary sources and giving a true history of both the Council of Nicaea and Constantine himself. No apologetics, no agenda...just the facts!

Thank you. That was very informative. Completely different from the version I had been told for years. For example, the signing of he creed only involve 50% of the Bishops from the orthodox. The eastern Bishops refused to sign it. The politics around this council today is still beyond dangerous. In particular the gospel of Saint Thomas it in general dismisses the relevency of the council completely.
