Description
What does it mean to speak of one God in three Persons? What becomes of the soul after death? How should faith shape the way we live? In Selected Works of Gregory of Nyssa, one of the great thinkers of early Christianity takes up these questions with intellectual rigor and spiritual depth.
Gregory’s debates with Eunomius and his shorter writings on the Trinity defend the divinity of the Son and the Holy Spirit. On the Making of Man considers humanity’s place in creation, while On the Soul and the Resurrection explores death and hope through a dialogue with his sister Macrina. In The Great Catechism, Gregory draws together central Christian teachings on the Incarnation, redemption, and the sacraments.
The collection also reveals Gregory as a pastor and preacher. His writings on virginity, the deaths of infants, and pilgrimage address difficult questions of Christian life. A funeral oration, a sermon on baptism, and selected letters bring his public ministry and personal concerns into view.
For readers interested in the early Church, theology, philosophy, or Christian spirituality, this volume offers a wide ranging introduction to Gregory in his own words.
