Understanding the Nicaean Creed

The Nicaean Creed was established to clarify core Christian beliefs during the early church's development. It sought to address key theological controversies, particularly those surrounding Arianism, which questioned the nature of Christ and His relationship to God the Father. The bishops gathered at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD affirmed the belief in Christ's divinity and the concept of the Trinity, although the term 'Trinity' itself was not coined until later by Tertullian. This gathering aimed to unify the church under a common understanding of key doctrines that had been under dispute.
