I'm completely unaware of mentioning 'Christian tradition'. Do you mean 'beliefs', because they're not the same thing at all, y'know.
Christian tradition is generally accepted as the general corpus of mythology which make up orthodox christian religion. And it wasn't properly firmed up until First Nicaea in 325CE It was here that the "exact nature of Jebus" was decided (and actually fell down to one of the later theories IIRC), it decided on the trinity (i.e. the polytheistic nature at the heart of orthodox christianity), created the Nicene creed, adopted the first canon (as opposed to cannon) laws, and was in effect the first unification of christianity from many varied and opposing sects into one cultic religion.
