Did Christians believe in the Trinity before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD? Was the doctrine developed over time—or was it already present in the early Church? In this episode, Dr. Jim Papandrea, expert in early Christianity and historical theology, joins me to explore how the Trinity was understood before and after Nicaea. We discuss the writings of the early Church Fathers, what the council actually taught, and how the doctrine of the Trinity developed without being invented. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, or just curious about Church history, this conversation will give you clarity on one of the most misunderstood doctrines of the Christian faith.
