The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God
First published in 1988, The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God is still considered by many scholars to be the finest work on the Arian Controversy. Examining scholarly works on the Controversy and many original texts, Professor Hanson, provides a clear understanding of how the traditional and historic doctrine of God as the Holy Trinity reached its most mature and enduring form. The author is not primarily concerned to defend the orthodox position itself, but rather to discover and examine the formation of that orthodoxy. The history of the events - the Councils, the interventions of the Emperor, the rivalries of sees, the behaviour of bishops, the varying fortunes of the different schools of thought and their leaders - is interwoven with the progression of thought and doctrine during the sixty years of the Controversy. Professor Hanson sees the problem of the reconciliation of two concepts which were both part of the very fabric of Christianity - monotheism and the worship of Jesus Christ as divine.
Arianism: Roman Heresy and Barbarian Creed
This is the first volume to attempt a comprehensive introduction to and overview of the evolution of the 'Arian' churches in the Roman world of Late Antiquity and their political importance in the late Roman kingdoms of the 5th-6th centuries, ruled by barbarian warrior elites. Bringing together researchers from the disciplines of theology, history and archaeology, and providing an extensive bibliography, it constitutes a breakthrough in a field largely neglected in historical studies.
Augustine and the Arians
Subsequent generations viewed the Catholic victory as inevitable, but for Augustine's contemporaries the Ulfilan Arians were a serious menace.
Epistles on Arianism and the Deposition of Arius
A letter from the bishop of Alexandria in Egypt regarding the Arian heresy of the early church.
Archetypal Heresy
Arianism started as a movement in the third century AD - maintaining that Jesus was less divine than God. Traditionally regarded as the archetypal Christian heresy, it was condemned in the famous Nicene Creed and apparently squashed by the early church. Less well known is the fact that fifteen centuries later, Arianism was alive and well, championed by Isaac Newton and other scientists of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Maurice Wiles asks how and why Arianism endured.
Arianism : Who is Jesus
Early in the history of mankind when Jesus was alive he communicated as man. In the end soon after the resurrection and the post resurrection period, period showed himself to be God. Now those whop proclaimed Jesus as God was forced to declare God as Trinity. This created a problem between Monotheism and Polytheism. Is Christianity Monotheistic or Polytheistic. This was the struggle in the early Christian period. Arius was one who came up with one answer as many others. What did he propose. Is it a valid explanation. Is it heresy. Where do we place Arianism. Who are the Arians today?
