As a Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge University, Gwatkin's erudition was deeply rooted in the original texts and their historical context. His scholarly work, 'The Arian Controversy,' remains a seminal piece in the study of one of the most significant theological debates in the Christian tradition. The book examines the complex theological disputes involving the nature of Christ that dominated the early church during the fourth century.

His literary style is marked by clarity and a careful balance between academic rigor and accessibility, making his works valuable to both seasoned scholars and interested lay readers. Gwatkin's contributions to church history and theology extend beyond his writings on the Arian controversy and encompass a broader understanding of the development of early Christian doctrine and its impact on the subsequent history of the Church.
