The Arians of the Fourth Century (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

By John Henry Cardinal Newman

Cardinal Newman’s study outlines the history of Arianism—a belief system asserting that Christ is not a divine but a created being—between the first and second general councils (325-381 AD). It then describes the events surrounding the resolution of the divisions caused by the teachings of Arius, a priest in fourth century AD Alexandria. Lastly, the work details how the Catholics defeated the theological challenge of Arius’s doctrine.
