This is part 13 of the One God Over All class.
What happened in the fourth century? You’ve probably heard all kinds of rumors about Arius of Alexandria and his newfangled heresy. But, was Arius really a sinful outsider who tried to corrupt Christianity? Was his idea of a Son with a beginning even new? In this episode we’ll cover an outline of the major events that happened in the controversy that raged from 318 to 381. You may be surprised to discover that Arius was actually and elderly conservative with an impeccable character who quite consciously worked to avoid established heresies.

You are a fantastic church history teacher. I love these videos. I love learning that my own understanding, which is so out of step with “mainline” or “orthodox” Christianity, actually has strong representatives/forefathers dating back centuries. Previously I didn’t have names and words to describe what I have come to believe, but now I do, and I have good company. also Thank you for bringing this history to life.
