NICENE Meaning and Definition

  1. Nicene refers to something related to, or associated with, the Nicene Creed, the council where it was formulated or the city where the council took place. The Nicene Creed is a declaration of the Christian faith that was adopted by the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and later amended at the First Council of Constantinople in 381 AD. It is considered one of the foundational statements of Christian doctrine.

    In the context of the Nicene Creed, the term Nicene typically refers to the formulation of the beliefs held by the Church at that time. These beliefs affirm the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, his consubstantiality with God the Father, his incarnation as a result of the Virgin Mary, and his resurrection from the dead. The Nicene Creed has been widely accepted and is professed by many Christian denominations today, including the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, and various Protestant churches.

    The term Nicene can also refer to the historical events surrounding the council. The First Council of Nicaea was held in the city of Nicaea (modern-day Iznik, Turkey) and convened by Emperor Constantine I. It brought together bishops from across the Christian world to resolve theological disputes and promote unity within the Church. Thus, the term Nicene can be used to describe the council itself and everything related to its proceedings.

  2. Pert. to the town of Nice or Nicaea, in Asia Minor; denoting a celebrated council held there, A.D. 325.
