Dr. Gerald McDermott examines the legacy of the Council of Nicaea on its 1700th anniversary, exploring both its vital role in affirming historic Christian doctrine and the theological challenges that followed in the Church’s relationship with the Jewish people.
While recognizing Nicaea’s importance in preserving orthodox teaching about the Trinity and the identity of Jesus, Dr. McDermott also considers questions surrounding supersessionism, antisemitism, and the gradual distancing of Christianity from its Jewish roots.
Rather than dismissing the theological achievements of the council, he calls for a thoughtful reassessment—one that preserves its foundational affirmations while more fully recognizing Israel, the Jewish people, and the biblical context of the Christian faith.
