Not Three Gods - Enhanced

by Gregory of Nyssa

This edition of Not Three Gods comes complete with a Bieber Touch-or-Click Table of Contents and the Bieber Image Collection, a myriad of beautiful religious images.

St. Gregory of Nyssa (c 335 – after 394) was a Christian bishop and saint. He was a younger brother of Basil the Great and a good friend of Gregory of Nazianzus. His significance has long been recognized in the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Catholic and Roman Catholic branches of Christianity.

Some historians identify Theosebia the deaconess as his wife, others hold that she, like Macrina the Younger, was actually a sister of Gregory and Basil. Gregory along with his brother Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus are known as the Cappadocian Fathers. They attempted to establish Christian philosophy as superior to Greek philosophy.

An important piece of pro-Nicene theology written by one of the most significant Trinitarian theologians in church history. Really enforces how important the undivided external operation of the Trinity (opera trinitatis ad extra indivisa sunt) was for understanding the unity of the persons in the development of the doctrine of the Trinity. I was not as comfortable with Gregory’s analogy between manhood and Godhood and how it is only improperly speaking that we can say there is more than one man since “manness” is a nature and natures are singular (Platonism on full display). I can certainly see how contemporary social trinitarians have attempted to appropriate Gregory for their cause. Excellent and quick read.

Much like the other two works I've reviewed today wonderful short reads & defenses of the Trinity that are wonderfully edifying text. I'd also argue this directly addresses one of the Eastern Orthodox critiques of the Filioque which is "it makes one of the Trinity have something the other two do not." Which defeats itself, because only the Father is the one "without cause." The other two are "true God from true God" as the Creed says. At the very end of this work it makes the clear analogy of that which comes from (a tree that is planted is still a tree) is not a different nature than that which it came from by necessity. Clearly, this analogy has shortcomings (no analogy is perfect) but that is exactly the point. And throughout Gregories trio of works (On the Holy Spirit & on the Trinity) there is a clear affirmation of Divine Simplicity.

Le tout premier traité qui réponde spécifiquement à l'accusation de trithéisme quant à la Trinité. C'est clair, concis, il va droit au but (pour une fois) un vrai coup de coeur.
