The Road to Nicaea runs through Alexandria. But what does that mean — and why does it matter for your faith today? alexandrianinstitute.org/article/road-t…

"He was made in the likeness of man, and shared our nature, becoming like us in all things, yet without sin… that we might be convinced that God has truly been manifested in the flesh." — Gregory of Nyssa, Against Eunomius, Book II (c. AD 380)

From Alexandria came Athanasius and Cyril — scholars immersed in Scripture, courageous enough to contend for the faith against fierce opposition. The road to Nicaea and Chalcedon ran through them. The story is not over.

"The Church is not wall and roof but faith and life." — John Chrysostom, Homily II on Eutropius (c. 399)

"Therefore, forsaking the vanity of many, and their false doctrines, let us return to the word which has been handed down to us from the beginning, watching in prayer, persevering in fasting, beseeching in our supplications the all-seeing God not to lead us into temptation." —Polycarp

Dogmatics isn't just systematic theology by another name — it's theology accountable to the church's confession. Dr. Greg Parker Jr. explains the difference. ↓

“For as by the disobedience of the one man who was originally moulded from virgin soil, the many were made sinners, Romans 5:19 and forfeited life; so was it necessary that, by the obedience of one man, who was originally born from a virgin, many should be justified and receive salvation…God recapitulated in Himself the ancient formation of man, that He might kill sin, deprive death of its power, and vivify man; and therefore His works are true.” Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies III.18.7

Didymus the Blind and John Owen were fighting different battles over the Holy Spirit. Yet separated by over a millennium, they reached for the same arguments. TAI Research Supervisor, Ty Kieser and Kelly Kapic over at @Crossway. crossway.org/articles/two-d…

Christ's Word forms us for true wisdom—wisdom that transforms both mind and heart, theology and life.

The Road to Nicaea, where the church fathers distilled the core tenets of our faith, runs through Alexandria. We say this a lot at the Alexandrian Institute — but what do we mean by it? Watch the full video ↓

“Even though we are cultural creatures who bear God’s image, we do not live in the time of Genesis 1-2. In fact, we do not merely live in the time after Genesis 3…” — written by @Dennis_Greeson alexandrianinstitute.org/article/findin…

Why "Alexandrian"? From this city came Athanasius and Cyril—men immersed in Scripture, convinced that the sacred text contained the fullness of divine wisdom, and courageous enough to contend for it. We bear that name because we carry that conviction.

“At one and the same time — this is the wonder — as Man He was living a human life, and as Word He was sustaining the life of the universe, and as Son He was in constant union with the Father." — Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation
