The de Synodis is the last of the great and important group of writings of the third exile. With the exception of §§30, 31, which were inserted at a later recension after the death of Constantius (cf. Hist. Ar. 32 end), the work was all written in 359, the year of the ‘dated’ creed (§4 ἀπὸ τῆς νῦν ὑπατείας) and of the fateful assemblies of Rimini and Seleucia. It was written moreover after the latter council had broken up (Oct. 1), but before the news had reached Athanasius of the Emperor’s chilling reception of the Ariminian deputies, and of the protest of the bishops against their long detention at that place. The documents connected with the last named episode reached him only in time for his postscript (§55). Still less had he heard of the melancholy surrender of the deputies of Ariminum at Niké on Oct. 10, or of the final catastrophe (cf. the allusion in the inserted §30, also Prolegg. ch. ii. §8 (2) fin.).

AD 250–336), a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt, concerning the relationship of God the Father to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father. Deemed a heretic by the Ecumenical First Council of Nicaea of 325, Arius was later exonerated in 335 at the regional First Synod of Tyre,[2] and then, after his death, pronounced a heretic again at the Ecumenical First Council of Constantinople of 381. The Roman Emperors Constantius II (337–361) and Valens (364–378) were Arians or Semi-Arians. The Arian concept of Christ is that the Son of God did not always exist, but was created by—and is therefore distinct from—God the Father.

  • Arianism the Heresy
    Arianism The heresy Arianism was a 4th century heresy named after Arius (c.250-336), a presbyter in As stated above, Arius denied the full deity of the preexistent Son of God, the Logos who Alexandria, Egypt, who taught that the Son of God was not co-eternal and consubstantial became incarnate as our Lord Jesus Christ ("the Word (Jesus Christ) became flesh" John with His Father, but rather a created being with a definite origin in time. In Arius's words, 1:14 - NKJV). He held that the Son, while divine and like unto God, was created by God as "there was [a time] when he (the Son) was not." This led to the calling of the First the agent through whom He created the universe; thus that there was a time when the Son Ecumenical Council, which condemned it and its author and established the Orthodox "was not". doctrine of the Holy Trinity as taught by Arius's chief opponent, St. Athanasius the Great. Though it managed to hang on among some of the Goths and other Germanic tribes in the In explaining his actions against Arius, Alexander of Alexandria wrote a letter to West, Arianism had vanished by the seventh century. Alexander of Constantinople and Eusebius of Nicomedia (where the emperor was then residing), detailing the errors into which he believed Arius had fallen. According to Arianism should be clearly distinguished from "Aryanism", which formed the core of Alexander, Arius taught: Nazi racial ideology during the twentieth century, and which had nothing whatsoever to do with Arius or his teachings.

  • The Arian Controversy
    THE ARIAN CONTROVERSY Introduction The Scriptures emphatically teach that there is only one God. However, they also teach that Christ is God. The attempts to reconcile this apparent contradiction have been the cause of many heated controversies throughout the history of Christianity. The purpose of this paper is to get a better understanding of one of these "battles"--the Arian controversy. Emphasis will be placed on the theological background from which the heresy originated, its view of Christ, the Action at Nicaea against the heresy, and reaction to the Nicene formula. Also, some of the most important terms used in the debate will be discussed. Events Leading to Arianism Monarchianism The Unity of the Being of God is truly an orthodox belief. But when it is over- emphasized, to the neglect of the "Trinity" of God, serious errors result. This happened, probably beginning quite "innocently," with what was perceived to be a needed stress on the "oneness" of God, against the polytheism of the surrounding community. The Monarchian heresies were the result of such "one-sided" attempts to reconcile the divinity of Christ to the Unity of God. Modalistic Monarchianism Modalistic Monarchianism, or "Sabellianism" (after one of its leaders, Sabellius, in Rome c. 198-200), gave full divinity to the Son, but denied his personality, blurring the distinction between him and the Father. The names Father, Son, and Holy Spirit became "simply designations of three different phases under which the one divine essence reveals itself--three names of the one and the same being."1 The varying needs of the occasion would determine the "mode" by which the divine essence would function.

I THE ARIAN CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE COU!TCILS OF NICAEA AND CONSTAlTTINOPlll. (A.D.325-381) In the year 318, a controversy had arisen betw.een Alexander,bishop of Alexandria,' and the presbyter Arius. Arius maintained that the Son was created out of nothing and therefore different in essence from the Father; that He wa s the Logos, Wisdom, Son of God, not in and of Him­ self but only by the grace of God; that He was created b efore everything else and that through Him the· universe was crea ted and administered; and finally that the Logos b ecame the soul of t he historical Ch·rist.
