| Summary: | The reception of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed among the Goths is a particular case study. Traditional historiography has focussed on how the Germanic peoples were anti-Nicene from the beginning of evangelisation. However, little attention has been paid to the dynamics of conversion, which outline a much more complex and varied panorama, or to the doctrinal trends present in the first centuries, or above all to the circumstances of this apparent total rejection. This article analyses how it was not a unambiguous rejection and how some figures have contstructed an anti-Nicene doctrine thanks to a theological-philosophical and linguistic sensitvity. |
