Item description from seller

Hardcover. In The Problem of the Devil in Cappadocian Thought, Gabrielle Thomas questions the popular assumption that the devil served as the primary explanation for evil, sin, and suffering as early Christians grappled with all that is wrong in the world. Interrogating the status of the devil in the teachings of the Cappadocians Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, and Macrina the Younger she identifies their points of agreement, that the devil is a fallen angel, and disagreement, notably how Christ defeated him, his continued existence, and his ultimate end. In her investigation, Thomas engages fourth-century Christian thought in conversation with ancient philosophy, ancient history, classics, and biblical studies. She demonstrates how the Cappadocians negotiated myriad philosophical, theological, and spiritual problems with the devil. Thomas argues that the devil is not simply a strategy for explaining the problem of evil. Rather, the devil himself is the problem. In this book, Gabrielle Thomas questions the popular assumption that the devil served as the primary explanation for evil, sin, and suffering as Early Christians grappled with all that is wrong in the world. She engages fourth century Christian thought in conversation with ancient philosophy, ancient history, classics, and Biblical Studies. This item is printed on demand.
