He is using the book "The first seven Ecumenical Councils (325-787) Their History and Theology" by Leo Donald Davis.

I have this book too, and yes I do use it, however, it must be known that Leo Donald Davis is a Roman Catholic scholar so he is coming from that perspective. He constantly rejects the Eastern Christian Triniterian perspective, so this should be known before reading this book.

I don't advise this book for anyone who doesn't know the Eastern Christian perspective. One should first learn what the Eastern Orthodox view is before reading this work. I say this because it will be alot easier to discern what to accept and reject. Leo Donald Davis has a strong western Bias and I don't want to see an Orthodox Christian embracing a modalistic/sabellianistic Roman Catholic Triniterian view........where the Father is not the Source of the Godhead.

I do like the book, but I like it for other reasons. So eat the meat, and spit out the bones.
