The Arian Controversy is a book written by H. M. Gwatkin in 1889 that delves into the theological debate that took place in the early Christian church regarding the nature of Jesus Christ. The controversy arose in the 4th century AD when Arius, a priest from Alexandria, challenged the orthodox view that Jesus was co-eternal and co-equal with God the Father. Arius argued that Jesus was a created being and therefore subordinate to God. This view was opposed by Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, who argued that Jesus was of the same substance as God the Father. The controversy led to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, which affirmed the orthodox view and led to the formulation of the Nicene Creed. Gwatkin's book provides a detailed account of the controversy, its origins, and its impact on the early Christian church. It also explores the political and social factors that contributed to the controversy and the role of key figures such as Constantine the Great and Emperor Theodosius in resolving the dispute. The Arian Controversy remains a significant event in the history of Christianity and Gwatkin's book remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology and church history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
