The Council of Nicaea (325) is crucial event that shaped both Christian theology and life. Although its main impact revolved around the development of Trinitarian theology, its canonical legislation became a reference point for subsequent Christian discipline. Therefore, the seminar addresses these two aspects. The first part of it deals with the Trinitarian debate, namely, the so-called Arian crisis and focuses on the analysis of contemporary documents rather than fifth-century Christian historians (Fernndez). The second part of the seminar addresses the twenty disciplinary canons of the council, their antecedents and reception (Hunter).
