This book provides a comprehensive new examination of the origins, adoption, and reception of the creed that ecclesiastical tradition has attributed to the second Ecumenical Council (Constantinople, 381), also referred to as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. It is the most widely disseminated ecumenical creed in Christianity and probably the most influential non-biblical text within the church.
