THE NICENE CREED
Read further for an introduction, or jump directly to its text below. The Story Behind the Nicene Creed. For a fuller version of this, go to The Council of Nicea. Arius had been excommunicated by Alexander for teaching that Jesus Christ was created by God in the beginning from nothing, in much the same way that God had created all othercreatures.
EARLY CHRISTIAN WRITINGS The Early Christian Writings. A terrific, short collection of important early Christian writings in modern English. This is therefore a great, rapid introduction to the pre-Nicene church fathers for those that want a feel for the early apostolic churches. ANGELS OF THE CHURCHES There is a famous early Christian letter called First Clement.It is very likely the earliest Christian writing outside of the New Testament. Interestingly enough, though it's been called First Clement for 19 centuries, there is nothing in the letter saying that Clement wrote it.The letter says it is from the church in Rome to the churchin Corinth.
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL OF NICEA A bishop, by the mid-2nd century and later, was the highest ranking church leader in a city.Each bishop would have a group of elders under him who handled the shepherding of the congregation.. The bishop of a large city might be in charge of several cities or a whole province.He would be known as a metropolitan.The Council of Nicea made the role of patriarch official, assigning authority over THE EPISTLE OF POLYCARP TO THE PHILIPPIANS A modern translation of the epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians, written before A.D. 150.

Like many of the traditional New Testament books, it is very difficult to date this gospel. Like the traditional four Gospels, how scholars date it depends a lot more on what they believe about the Gospel than on the actual evidence.. There's a revival of interest in gnosticism today, stirred by a few authors; most notably, Elaine Pagels, Bart Ehrman, and Dan ANGELS OF THE CHURCHES There is a famous early Christian letter called First Clement.It is very likely the earliest Christian writing outside of the New Testament.
