Product Description
Review
Here is a book to which students, who are trying for the first time to come to terms with issues of the Christological controversy, can be directed with a reasonable hope that they will see not only that there was an argument, but that it was a real one, and that it still matters. All this is based on thorough knowledge, both wide and deep, of the relevant literature, ancient and modern. --Mark Santer in Theology
Product Description
From Nicaea to Chalcedon is a seminal and authoritative textbook listed on every reading list and referenced in every book on the development of early Christian doctrine. In six masterly essays, Frances Young traces the development of early Christian teaching through one of its most pivotal periods. She introduces the key texts and authors and identifies the central issues and developments. First published in 1983, From Nicaea to Chalcedon has become a standard work. This long-awaited second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.

Outstanding Resource for Studies in Church History
12 May 2011
Format:Paperback
This is exactly what I expect from a solid, scholarly study of early church history. It is clear, well-written, engaging, formatted well, and outlined in a manner that is easy to follow. In an orderly way, Young writes about Eusibius, Arius, Athanasius, Didymus the Blind, Basil, Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril, Chrysostom, Appollinarius, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Nestorius, and quite a few others from this time period (4th-6th centuries) along with the conficts the church faced in these years.
The book has a great bibliography if the reader is interested in further studies of certain areas. There is also a helpful topical/subject index in the appendix. One great thing about this book is that the sections can stand alone. In other words, if one simply wanted to read about Basil and Cyril, for example, he/she would simply find these sections in the index and read them. Granted, many of these names and controversies overlap, yet the book is written in such a way that it will be a great resource to utilize for a "big picture" study or a detailed one of certain names, dates, and controversies.
This book is not for the "average" layperson. It is thick (just under 400 pages), written in a small font, and full of names/dates/doctrines with which most laypeople would be overwhelmed. However, this is a great resource for seminary students, pastors, teachers, and any serious student of church history. Highly recommended!

Nicea to Chalcedon
16 July 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this work a very good read, and it was full of information about what happened between the council of Nicea and the Chalcedon Council of 481. It is rare that this type of product can keep your attention and inform at the same time.
