První nikajský koncil (325-2025) - Historie, teologie a přetrvávající význam – Pospíšil Ctirad Václav (2025)

The First Nicene Council, held in 325, reminds us of the core of Christian identity – an identity that should be common to all Christian churches and denominations. In this way, we can renew our faith in Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of God and the Son of Man in a broad ecumenical dimension. This faith leads us to the knowledge and experience of the ultimate mystery of our faith and our lives, which is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Ctirad V. Pospíšil has divided the book into two parts. The first consists of his historical-theological study of the council. The second is made up of an anthology of council texts, testimonies about the council, and the difficulties that accompanied its proceedings. The study of the Nicene Council is a complex matter: we learn about the history of the Roman Empire, the church, philosophy, and theology. Honest theological reflection then explores what from the council is relevant to our present. The publication, with its depth and focus, will appeal to theologians, historians, and all those who want to experience their Christian faith not only emotionally but also dignifiedly on the level of reason.
