The importance and significance of the first ecumenical council has been a subject of reflection ever since its own time period. It was not long before Eusebius of Caesarea and the various Church historians of the 4th and 5th centuries commented on the development of the synod, inseparably linking the consubstantiality of the Father and Son formulated in Nicaea to Christian orthodoxy and, to a certain extent, conditioning subsequent thought regarding the council and its historical and theological influence. In this contribution we will approach the development of historiographic and theological thought concerning the council of Nicaea by its immediate contemporaries, as well as its influence on the last few decades, focusing on the study of its nature and significance.
