Summary/Abstract: The Church has established the Orthodox teachings reguarding the Person of Christ beginning with the First Ecumenical Council from Niceea (325) and continuing with the Third and the Fourth Ecumenical Councils from Efes (431) and Calcedon (451). The patristical teachings represented at these councils was continued by Saint John of Damascus’ christological wrintings, therefore his liturgical hymns preserve the purity of the Orthodox faith. The following study highlights a few aspects of the niceean Orthodox christology reguarding the Son, who is true God, of the same substance with the Father. He became Man, let Himself be crucified and saved us through His Resurrection.
