NicänoKonstantinopolitanische

NicänoKonstantinopolitanische refers to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, a foundational statement of Christian faith. It is a synthesis of the earlier Nicene Creed of 325 AD and the Constantinopolitan additions of 381 AD. The creed outlines core tenets of Christian belief, particularly concerning the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the personality of the Holy Spirit. It emerged from significant theological councils held in Nicaea and Constantinople, which aimed to clarify and unify Christian doctrine in the face of various heresies. The creed affirms the monotheistic nature of God, stating there is one God in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It describes Jesus Christ as the Son of God, begotten of the Father, and the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father. The NicänoKonstantinopolitanische Creed is widely accepted and recited in many Christian denominations, including Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and various Protestant traditions, serving as a central expression of shared Christian identity and belief.
