Epistles On The Arian Heresy And The Deposition Of Arius (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162661391)

""Epistles On The Arian Heresy And The Deposition Of Arius"" is a collection of letters written by Alexander of Constantinople, a prominent bishop in the early Christian church. The book focuses on the Arian heresy, a theological dispute that arose in the fourth century over the nature of Jesus Christ. Arius, a priest in Alexandria, argued that Jesus was a created being and not equal to God the Father. Alexander and other bishops opposed this view, and the controversy led to the Council of Nicaea in 325, where the orthodox position was affirmed. The letters in this book were written during the years leading up to the council and deal with various aspects of the controversy. Alexander defends the orthodox position and refutes the arguments of Arius and his followers. He also discusses the political and social implications of the dispute, as it was closely tied to the power struggles of the Roman Empire. In addition to its historical significance, ""Epistles On The Arian Heresy And The Deposition Of Arius"" provides insight into the theological debates of the early church and the development of Christian doctrine. It is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
