The Decolonial and Anti-Racism Potential of the Full Divinity of Jesus Christ

The Nicene Creed in contemporary Christianity refers to a creedal construction that originated at the Council of Nicaea of 325 CE, and includes additions made at subsequent councils such as the Council of Constantinople of 381 CE, and the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE. This lecture will focus on the full Nicene Creed and not simply the result of 325 CE.
