- Title
The Search for Confessors at the Council of Nicaea.
- Authors
Kelhoffer, James A.
- Abstract
The article assesses whether confessors are influential and prominent participants in the Council of Nicaea as viewed in the Christian context. It assesses evidences that prove the popularity and explain the role played by confessors in the council. The author argues that the early church does not have a fixed definition on how they will view confessors. He views confessors as people in the early times who acknowledged the sufferings and persecutions that they may experience and the possibility that they die for faith convictions.
