We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

Church History for Chumps
The Council of Constantinople: Wait, Arianism is Still a Thing?
Every story needs a good villain.
Thanos. The Joker. Tom Brady.
In the late 4th Century, the Church had a villain by the name of Arianism.
After the Council of Nicaea, the post-persecution church had united under the banner of Nicene theology, girded by the writings of Athanasius. Under this creed, they affirmed the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, who is one with the Father and Spirit.
Although decades had past since this groundbreaking Council, the stink of Arianism wafted through the Empire, leading to another attempt to oust it once and for all, the Council of Constantinople.
Will it succeed? Will it fail? Tune in this week for another rager episode of Church History for Chumps!
