The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God

The Arian Controversy 318–381

by R. P. C. Hanson

A large and detailed reconstruction of the fourth-century debates over the divinity of the Son, from Arius to the Council of Constantinople. Hanson argued that the controversy was a genuine search for an adequate doctrine rather than a simple defence of settled orthodoxy.
