 Where are the details of this Council recorded?

            The details of the Council of Jerusalem are recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. Acts 15:1-5 describes the open opposition to St. Paul's teaching by the salvation-by-faith-and-circumcision party. So vital an issue as Christianity's entering into the Gentile world under the veil of Judaism had to have an authoritative decision by the Apostles and elders in order to avoid a split. Acts 15:6-21 goes on to describe the debate of the issue and its final resolution.
