2025 marks the 1700-year anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Considering this monumental benchmark, The Hanover Review: The Journal of the London Lyceum is issuing a call for papers on topics related to the Nicene Creed and Nicene faith. Theological and/or philosophical papers related to the topic of the Nicene Creed or historical papers regarding its receptivity in the Post-Reformation era and/or Baptist figures are most welcome.

The Hanover Review is pleased to offer a $200 cash prize for the best essay submission from a current graduate student or recent post-graduate (within 5 years). The winner will also be published in the issue.

We are especially interested in submissions that address the following topics (though topics that deviate from the recommendations remain most welcome):

• Nicene Theology vs. Nicene Methodology: What is the Difference?
• Defenses of whether there is such a thing as “Nicene” theology
• Analyses of whether contemporary retrieval efforts understand Nicaea the same way the medieval and Reformation thinkers did
• The relationship of later creeds, councils, and confessions to Nicaea (e.g., how does Chalcedon relate to Nicaea? Is it a further development? How does the Westminster Confession of Faith relate to Nicaea? Is it self-consciously “Nicene”? Does it make Trinitarian or Christological advancements?)
