Exploring the Divinity of Christ: Historical and Theological Debates

Delving into the historical and theological context, this chapter examines debates on the transcendence of God, the nature of the Son, and the divinity of Christ in relation to the Father. It contrasts Arian subordinationism with the Nicene belief in the Son's equality, tracing the evolution of Trinitarian language and the influence of imperial politics on early Christian confessions.
