| My current project involves the Nicene Creed of 325AD. I find myself
| in the position of having to comment on the elements that led to the
| need for this declaration, especially the statement that "Jesus is of
| one substance with God".
|
| My problem, simply, is the difficulty I am having finding any sources
| that discuss the events surrounding that particular Council.
|
| Could someone please assist by pointing me in the direction of some
| useful sources? Responses public or private would be appreciated.
