The Seven Ecumenical Councils

The seven councils whose teaching the Orthodox Church holds as its own: Nicaea and the divinity of Christ, Constantinople and the Holy Spirit, Ephesus and the Theotokos, Chalcedon and Christ's two natures, the two councils of Constantinople that followed, and Nicaea II and the holy icons.

This edition gives the canons with short ancient summaries and the notes of the Anglican scholar Henry Percival. His notes reflect his own church, so read them with care.
