The Nicean council had three goals:
to resolve the Melitian controversy—which was over the readmission to the Church of lapsed Christians,
to establish how to calculate the date of Easter each year, and
to settle matters stirred up by Arius, the presbyter at Alexandria.
Athanasius (296–373 CE) was an important fourth-century Christian theologian and one of the eight great Doctors of the Church. He was also the major, albeit polemical and biased, contemporary source we have on the beliefs of Arius and his followers. Athanasius' interpretation was followed by the later Church historians Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret.

Key point for Lutheran kids- we had to memorize that darned thing in Confirmation classes. There are several fairly large chunks of it that linger yet in the old brain cells.
