Author: Behr, John

Condition: New

The Way to Nicaea is the first of the three-volume series The Formation of Christian Theology. The series traces the reflection provoked by Christ's question, "Who do you say that I am?" from the earliest days of Christianity to the Seventh Ecumenical Council. Through original and penetrating analyses of selected figures and controversies, Behr presents not only the history of theological reflection, but a sustained analysis of the essential elements of the resulting theology. This first volume treats the initial three centuries of the Christian era. The series continues with the two-volume set The Nicene Faith.
