N2  - This title examines the role that appeals to Nicaea (both the council and its creed) played in the major councils of the mid-5th century. It argues that the conflict between rival construals of Nicaea, and the struggle convincingly to arbitrate between them, represented a key dynamic driving - and unsettling - the conciliar activity of these decades. Mark S. Smith identifies a set of inherited assumptions concerning the role that Nicaea was expected to play in orthodox discourse - namely, that it possessed unique authority as a conciliar event, and sole sufficiency as a credal statement.
