Abstract
AbstractThis article explores the question of whether modern theologians can adopt pro‐Nicene theology on the basis of modern biblical studies. It argues that under two hermeneutic assumptions (identified as the canon principle and inspiration principle), key data assessed in the Christological monotheism debates provides warrant for pro‐Nicene defenses of consubstantiality. Three features of Athanasius’s Contra Arianos are explored in dialogue with modern biblical scholarship to defend this claim: Athanasius’s variegated mediatorial Christology, his emphasis on Christ as preeminent mediator, and his appeals to cultic worship of Christ in the New Testament.
