2/20/05: The First Seven Ecumenical Councils

As I said, this coming Sunday morning, we'll be doing a basic overview of the first Seven Ecumenical Councils. There is no specific assigned reading, but I provide below a list of links that will be helpful for anyone who wants to do some reading in preparation or after class. Remember when browsing these articles that we are focusing on the first 7 councils.

"The Seven Ecumenical Councils" - An overview of the councils from a Greek Orthodox site, including a link to more detailed info on each council.
New Advent Article - This is an article from the online Catholic Encycolpedia.
"The Ecumenical Councils" - A very brief overview of the councils, again from a Catholic site.
CCEL - Large section on the councils from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.

Feel free to add any other helpful links by way of comments.

Also, for those interested, keep an eye on this particular page. I'm going to broaden its purpose a bit by doing some teaching right here on the blog. I'll be posting soon on the issue of 1 Corinthians 15, the Second Coming, and the "Millenial Reign."
