Synopsis
Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 5: Select Writings and Letters of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa
These translations from the works of St. Gregory of Nyssa have involved unusual labour, which the Editor hopes will be accepted as a sufficient apology for the delay of the volume. The difficulty has been extreme of conveying with correctness in English the meaning of expressions and arguments which depend on some of the most subtle ideas of Greek philosophy and theology; and, in addition to the thanks due to the translators, the Editor must offer a special acknowledgment of the invaluable help he has received from the exact and philo Sophical scholarship of the Rev. J. H. Lupton, Surmaster of St. Paul's School. He must renew to Mr. Lupton, with increased earnestness, the expression of gratitude he had already had occasion to offer in issuing the Translation of St. Athanasius. From the careful and minute revision which the volume has thus undergone, the Editor ventures to entertain some hope that the writings of this important and interesting Father are in this volume introduced to the English reader in a manner which will enable him to obtain a fair conception of their meaning and.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of the life and writings of Gregory of Nyssa, a prominent figure in the early Christian Church. The author delves into Gregory's philosophical and theological contributions, placing them within the context of the turbulent intellectual and religious landscape of the fourth century. The book offers a detailed account of Gregoryââ â¢s life, including his family, education, and the challenges he faced as a bishop in the midst of the Arian controversies. The author examines Gregoryââ â¢s deep engagement with philosophical ideas, particularly those of Plato, and how he used them to develop his own unique understanding of Christian doctrine. Gregoryââ â¢s innovative approach to reconciling faith and reason is explored in depth, particularly his views on the nature of evil, the relationship between the ideal and the actual human being, and the role of the spirit. The book also examines Gregoryââ â¢s contributions to the development of Christian eschatology, the theological study of the end times. By examining Gregoryââ â¢s life, writings, and theology, this book offers a rich and nuanced understanding of a pivotal figure in the history of Christian thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
