Call for papers

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.

The deadline to submit a paper proposal has passed.


This event is in person only. If you cannot make it to the conference, be sure to listen to the lecture recordings after they are published on the Thomistic Institute podcast.
