The 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Council is an opportune moment to consider the possibility that the production and defense of the Nicene confession represent the fruition and manifestation of a way of doing theology that is perennially valid and normative precisely with respect to its systematic integration of the contents of Christian faith. In this paper, I argue that the Nicene controversy should be viewed as an event of ‘systematic’ theology insofar as it presented a creative re-integration of Christian faith, and I show how Nicene trinitarian doctrine encompassed distinct approaches to biblical exegesis, liturgical theology, and moral theology.

What does it mean for the church still to go on in the same way as Nicaea? Recent patristic scholarship has complicated this question by emphasizing the embedded character of Nicaea's surface-level dogmatic judgments, thus suggesting (whether explicitly or by implication) that genuine continuity with the Nicene tradition calls for an alignment with Nicaea far more robust and expansive than the maintenance of simple assent to its creed. The aim of this article is to consider apparent challenges which arise from this thick delineation of Nicaea for the modern Lutheran theological tradition, suggesting in the final analysis that in order to ‘go on in the same way as Nicaea’ in accordance with this thick delineation, it will be necessary for some strands of modern Lutheran theology to adjust the manner in which they understand and assert the criteriological primacy of the Gospel.
