The Future of Faith: Exploring the Dispute and Legacy of the Nicaean Council in Asia - 3rd International Conference on Theology, Religion, Culture and Humanities

The international conference “The Future of Faith: Exploring the Disputes and Legacy of the Nicean Council in Asia” aims to examine the historical impact and contemporary relevance of the First Council of Nicea (325 CE) in Asian Christian contexts, interfaith dialogues, and theological developments. We are interested not only in the Nicene Creed as the “result” of the council but also in the historical context, method and model taken by council fathers as well as in the impact of the council on the future of Christian faith, especially when faced with contemporary challenges, such as secularism, scientific development, intercultural and interreligious encounter and social problems. Two fundamental questions we are going to explore in this international conference are: First, what was the dispute and historical legacy of the Nicean Council? Second, which relevance would this council have especially when Christian faith is faced with Asian challenges such as secularism, scientific development, intercultural and interreligious encounter and social problems?

Abstracts and papers on broader topics in theology, philosophy, religious and cultural studies are welcome.
