Ante-Nicene Period
The
Ante-Nicene Period
(literally meaning "before Nicaea") of the
history of early Christianity
refers to the period following the
Apostolic Age
of the
1st century
down to the
First Council of Nicaea
in 325. This portion of Christian history is important, having a significant impact on the unity of doctrine across all
Christendom
and the
spreading of Christianity
to a greater area of the world. Those seen as prominent figures of this era, referred to as the
Ante-Nicene Fathers
or
Proto-orthodox Christians
, generally agreed on most doctrine while the teachings of those
early Christian writers
which the general majority considered to be
heretical
, were rejected.
