The Nicene Faith
...An academic study of the highest caliber. Believing Christians, who an never know enough by the Nicene faith, will be deeply grateful for this excellent book.Engaging the best of modern scholarship, Behr provides a series of orignal, comprehensive, and insightful sketches of theology of the key protaganists of the Nicene faith, presenting a powerful vision of Christian theology, centered upon Christ and his Passion.
Part One, "True God of True God," opens with a reflection on the nature of Christian theology, challenging common presuppositions, and an analysis and survey of the fourth century controversies, followed by studies of Alexander, Arius, the Council of Nicaea, and, Athanasius.
Part Two, "One of the Holy Trinity," provides analyses of the work of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa, together with their opponents, in particular Eunomius and Apollinarius.
Each part is contained in a separate paperback book.

Great Intro to 4th c. Trinity Debates, Aug 2 2007
By C. Taylor "The Pastor" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Nicene Faith (Paperback)
John Behr does a wonderful job introducing some key players in the 4th c. Trinitarian debates surrounding the Christian doctrine of God. The 4th c. was a pivotal century for Christians learning how to faithfully articulate what it means to worship Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Behr's style is readable. Someone new to the field should have no problem hearing Behr's arguments and making sense of them. Behr's Orthodox (i.e. Eastern) commitment shines through at times, but with a great deal of charity and ecumenical concern toward Christians within Western traditions(Catholics and Protestants). Recommended!
