The Council of Nicaea

The event that shaped Christianity, 1700 years ago.

In the year 325, in Constantinople, ecclesiastical leaders gathered to answer a single burning question: is Jesus Christ God? For two months, this and other issues were fiercely debated in what was to become the first edition of the Council of Nicaea. This film draws on the expertise of historians, theologians, and both Catholic and Orthodox priests to unfold its narrative through a journey retracing the history of the Council of Nicaea.
