About the author

Basil the Great

363 books130 followers
After 370, Christian leader Saint Basil, known as "the Great," Greek bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, vigorously opposed Arianism.

Arabic: باسيليوس الكبير
Greek: Μέγας Βασίλειος

People also call him of Mazaca in Asia Minor. He influenced as a 4th century theologian and monastic.

Theologically, Basil supported the Nicene faction of the church, not the followers of Apollinaris of Laodicea on the other side. Ability to balance theological convictions with political connections made Basil a powerful advocate for the Nicene position.

In addition to work as a theologian, Basil cared for the poor and underprivileged. Basil established guidelines, which focus on community, liturgical prayer, and manual labor for monastic life. People remember him, together with Pachomius, as a father of communal monasticism in east. The traditions of east and west consider him.

People refer collectively to Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa as the fathers. The Eastern Orthodox Church and Catholics gave the title of hierarch to Basil, together with Gregory of Nazianzus and John Chrysostom. The Catholic Church recognizes him as a doctor. The epithet "revealer of heavenly mysteries," sometimes refers to Basil.

Um dos livros mais profundos que já li. São Basílio, o Grande, expõe os fundamentos basilares do cristinismo de uma forma sublime. Este pequeno livro contém três homilias: a primeira aborda o tema do modo correto de se ler a literatura pagã, a segunda trata sobre o desapego e a terceira aborda o tema da humildade. As três são excelentes e causam uma profunda impressão na alma. Um pequeno livro com uma mensagem gigante e atemporal. Para ler e reler para a vida toda.

Promete 10 e entrega 100. Impossível ler e não refletir sobre os próprios atos. São Basílio, o Based, ensina como se proteger das literaturas pagãs, assim como as abelhas extraem o mel das melhores flores e, ignoram as ruins.
