Deep dives
Council of Nicaea and Scripture Canon
The Council of Nicaea is often mistakenly thought to have established the canon of scripture, but this was not the case. By the time of the council, Christians already had the 27 books of the New Testament, which had been recognized and discussed within the early church long before Nicaea. Various canon lists emerged during the second century, which were agreed upon by early Christian leaders, predating the council. The focus of the council was primarily theological, addressing specific beliefs such as Arianism, rather than determining which scriptural texts were authoritative.
