	The Ecole Glossary
		Arianism, a Trinitarian doctrine promoted by Arius (c 250-336 CE), denied the divinity of Christ and focused on the dissimilarity between the Father and Son.
		After Constantine, the popularity of Arianism rose again because of support from emperors Constantius II (337- 361) and Valens (364-378).
		After Valen's death, the threat of Arianism subsided with Theodosius, who summoned a council in Constantinople (381) that sealed the faith of Nicaea for all the Church.

	Arianism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arianism dealt mainly with the nature of Jesus, proclaiming that he was not divine but a created being, breaking the divine link of Father and Son.
		Arianism was therefore dealing mainly with the question of the oneness of God as well as to immutability of God; Jesus went through the cycles of a human being, including both a normal birth and death, and he was also of a different matter than God.
		Arianism is banned, and the Nicene creed (of 325) is reinstated as the universal creed of Christianity.

		The council condemned Arianism, but the Greek term homoousios [consubstantial, of the same substance] used by the council to define the Son’s relationship to the Father was not universally popular: it had been used before by the heretic Sabellius.
		However, Ulfilas had carried (c.340) Homoean Arianism to the Goths living in what is now Hungary and the NW Balkan Peninsula with such success that the Visigoths and other Germanic tribes became staunch Arians.
		Arianism brought many results—the ecumenical council, the Catholic Christological system, and even Nestorianism and, by reaction, Monophysitism.

		Arianism was a Christological view held by followers of Arius in the early Christian Church, claiming that Jesus Christ and God the Father were not always contemporary, seeing the Son as a divine being, created by the Father (and consequently inferior to Him) at some point in time, before which he did not exist.
		At one point in the conflict, Arianism held sway in the family of the Emperor and the Imperial nobility, and, because Ulfilas was the apostle to the Goths, the Ostrogoths and the Visigoths, they arrived in western Europe already Christians, but also Arians.
		After Valens's death in the battle of Adrianople in 378, the firm Nicene Theodosius I succeeded and settled the dispute in 381: at the Second Ecumenical Council in Constantinople mainly Eastern bishops assembled and accepted the Nicene Creed, which was supplemented in regards to the Holy Spirit.

	Arianism
		Led by Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, the council condemned Arianism and stated that the Son was consubstantial (of one and the same substance or being) and coeternal with the Father, a belief formulated as homoousios ("of one substance") against the Arian position of homoiousios ("of like substance").
		Three types of Arianism emerged: radical Arianism, which asserted that the Son was "dissimilar" to the Father; homoeanism, which held that the Son was similar to the Father; and semi-Arianism, which shaded off into orthodoxy and held that the Son was similar yet distinct from the Father.
		The guard against the error of Arius and the Arianism erected by the symbol and anathemas adopted by the Council of Nicaea serve as an outline of Arius's fundamental position.

		Arianism was a Christological view held by followers of Arius in the early Christian Church, denying that Christ and God the Father were of the same fundamental essence, seeing the the Son as a created and inferior being to the Father.
		The apparently trivial nature of this difference led Edward Gibbon to remark that "the profane of every age have derided the furious contests which the difference of a single diphthong excited between the Homoousians and the Homoiousians." that Jesus is, for Arianism, inferior or subordinate to God the Father.
		A specific summary statement that came to be at issue was that "there was a time when Jesus Christ was not"; this statement implied Jesus to be a created being, rather than one coeternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and thereby denied the doctrine of the Trinity as it is generally understood today.

		Indeed, it is estimated that at one point Arianism was confessed by at least thirty percent of the church.
		Moreover, the manner in which Arianism was finally overcome in the East was as such to ensure that even after the controversy was over the tension between East and West was continued.
		The precise definition of Arianism has been further obscured by a rather unhelpful argument from Jaroslav Pelikan, who claims that the Arians literally worshipped Christ (just as their opponents did.) The theological implications of his argument necessitate a temporary digression, which now follows.
