Game of Thrones? Conciliarity at Nicaea 325 and Today

by Bishop Maxim Vasiljević

This thought-provoking work explores the theological, historical, and civilizational significance of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea and its lasting relevance for the Orthodox Church today. Bishop Maxim skillfully examines the themes of conciliarity, synodality, authority, and unity through the lens of both ancient and contemporary ecclesial experience. Drawing from patristic wisdom, especially St. Basil the Great, and reflecting on the 2016 Holy and Great Council of Crete, this book invites readers into a dynamic conversation about Church structure, primacy, and communion in the modern age. A timely and profound contribution to contemporary Orthodox thought.
