About the author

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

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.

Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I gave this book three stars because some of the insights into Christology, theology proper, and the Trinity are genuinely brilliant. That being said, it is one of the most boring, tedious, and repetitive books that I have ever read.

[J. W. Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Certainly the definitive refutation of Eunomius' heresies, but I found large parts of it long-winded, as perhaps is to be expected.
