“Nicaea After 1700 Years: Looking Back and Looking Forward”

February 7-8, 2025

Call for Papers:

To commemorate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.), the Thomistic Institute invites paper proposals for its commemorative Spring 2025 Thomistic Circles conference on “Nicaea After 1700 Years: Looking Back and Looking Forward,” to be held at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. from February 7-8, 2025.

We invite proposals on themes concerning the Council of Nicaea itself, the events, ideas, and theological claims that gave rise to it, and its reception and significance in the patristic, medieval, and modern periods.  We also welcome submissions that engage the principles, legacy, and ongoing significance of Nicaea for contemporary theology and for the Church more broadly.

Papers may also be considered for publication in the post-conference edited volume, to be issued by a major academic press.

Deadline: 

Submit a CV, with a title and abstract of 300-500 words, through the portal below by October 26, 2024.  Acceptance decisions will be made by November 9, 2024.
