This chapter avoids the familiar framing of Nicaea’s future relevance in terms of the ongoing reception history of an otherwise finished artifact. Instead of being a finished fact that the church may or may not continue to make an ongoing, influential part of its heritage, Nicaea itself, this chapter suggests, gestures into the future, because of its open-ended, essentially unfinished quality. Like the results of other similarly ecumenical councils, Nicaea itself is essentially indexed to a future to come, a future in which it will itself form the subject matter for extensive further explication and debate. Rather than ending controversy and completing a search for consensus, Nicaea’s significance lies, then, in the way it sets a task for the future.
