Select Works of Gregory of Nyssa, Volume One: Against Euonimus

by Gregory of Nyssa

This volume presents Gregory of Nyssa’s monumental theological response to Eunomius, who challenged Nicene orthodoxy by claiming that God's nature could be fully comprehended by human reason and that the Son was unlike the Father in essence. As one of the Cappadocian Fathers, Gregory defends the full deity of the Son and the mystery of the divine nature through biblical exegesis, philosophical rigor, and pastoral concern in his work Against Eunomius and related writings. Carefully revised from the historic Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translation, this edition modernizes spelling, punctuation, and formatting while preserving the substance of Gregory’s arguments for contemporary readers. The volume includes an original introduction to Gregory’s life, ministry, and theology, making it an essential resource for students of early Church history, patristics, and Trinitarian theology. Gregory’s profound insights into the doctrine of the Trinity continue to challenge and enrich readers, providing an unparalleled window into one of Christianity’s most significant doctrinal debates.
