Gregory of Nyssa 
On the Soul and the Resurrection [EPUB ebook] 
Theological Treatise on Immortality and Infinity of God

On the Soul and the Resurrection is work by Gregory of Nyssa, written upon his brother Basil’s death, about the immortal soul and the infinity of God. The work is written in form of Socratic dialogue between Gregory who plays the part of an interlocutor and his older sister, St. Macrina, who plays the part of Socrates. Gregory deals with two topics of considerable importance in Christian theology: the immortality of the soul and the physicality of the resurrection. He confronts many of the arguments made by those who deny the existence of the soul or resurrection and gives thorough answers to the questions about the soul and the resurrection.
