The Nicene Creed stands as the definitive expression of Christian belief. Initially promulgated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325, it underwent subsequent refinement at the First Council of Constantinople in 381. Within this anthology, one encounters a compendium of works, speeches, and studies authored by eminent theological figures of early Christianity. Their profound insights not only shaped the philosophical foundations but also delineated the moral ethos intrinsic to the Christian faith. The latter segment of this compilation delves into the writings of theologians contemporary to and following the Nicene Council, whose contributions fortified the Christian doctrine, reaffirmed the core facets of Christian faith, and codified its values.
