Presbyter of Alexander whose ideas started the Arian controversy
Arius was a priest in Alexandria in the early fourth century and a famous propagator of the doctrine that Christ was not equal to God the Father, but subordinated to him, hence this doctrine is called Arianism. He and his teachings were condemned at the council of Nicaea in 325, yet some of his ideas remained influential especially in the east of the Roman Empire and among Germanic tribes converted to Christianity in the fourth century.
