Robinson, General Editor, HarperCollins, 1988, ISBN 0-06-066935-7. The Gospel of Judas (from Codex Tchacos), Kasser, Meyer, Wurst, Editors, National Geographic, Washington, D.C., 2006, ISBN-10: -4262-0042-0. These will get you some insight into the Gnostic movement which was radically different from the current Christian thought and concepts. A battle raged for about 200 years within the realm of religion. Unfortunately, the Roman side won. Good reading. MLW You might start with:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end." It cleary defines what they were discussing at the council of Nicea and to this day some churches still recite this creed.

Pope Sylverster sent two legates to the council to represent him (he was to old and sick to go himself). The pope opposed the error and the majority of bishops supported him.
