Description

This work presents the historic confession of faith delivered by a pivotal figure of the early church, rendered side‑by‑side in Latin and the original Greek. Listeners will hear a precise articulation of the doctrine of one uncreated Father and the eternal Son, expressed in the language that shaped the first ecumenical council’s decisions.

Beyond the theological formulas, the text offers a vivid glimpse into the language and arguments used to confront the Arian controversy. It reveals how the early bishops defined the relationship between Father and Son, emphasized the Spirit’s role, and warned against splintering interpretations. For anyone curious about the roots of Christian orthodoxy, the narration brings the ancient creed to life with the rhythm of its original tongues, making a foundational moment in church history both accessible and compelling.
