This chapter discusses the competing ways in which the Council of Nicaea is interpreted. It particularly examines the instinct to democratize Nicaea but adding new voices and layers of interpretation. Exploring the way political theorists use apophatic theology to describe democracy, the chapter asks if there might be ways to bring an apophatic instinct to the interpretation of Nicaea. The chapter turns to the work of the philosopher Saul Kripke to explore the way language, including creeds, may contain meaning that both latches onto a fixed referent and is open to multiple descriptions. The chapter concludes that the instinct to pluralize theology might need to be approached from a new direction.
