A vivid account of the fourth-century controversy surrounding the divine status of Christ and the Holy Spirit: its protagonists, imperial power, theological twists and turns, and the many creeds and councils of this period.
Defining God tells the story of that controversy: its main protagonists, the involvement of imperial power from Constantine and his successors, its history and theological twists and turns, and the many creeds and councils of this period, including the Nicene Creed which many Christians say week by week.
