Gnosticism, Nicea and Celebrity – Carl Trueman on recent events: “Now that it is official that the kind of questions raised in the third and fourth centuries relative to Trinitarianism are nothing more than the constructs of a bunch of middle aged white guys, it is worth perhaps spending a few moments in methodological and historical reflection.”

—J.I. Packer
