A fourth century Byzantine philosopher and theologian, Gregory of Nyssa was the leader of the orthodox party in controversies over the doctrine of the Trinity. First and foremost a scholar, he composed numerous theological, mystical and monastic works in which he balanced Platonic and Christian traditions. Gregory, his elder brother Basil of Caesarea and their friend Gregory of Nazianzus are collectively known as the Cappadocian Fathers. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides e Readers with the wisdom of the Classical world, offering both English translations and the original Greek texts.
