Gregory of Nazianzus, a 4th-century bishop of Constantinople,
receives relatively little attention from modern Western scholars,
yet he is one of the most influential theologians in the history of
Christian doctrine. Many modern Christians understand their
religious beliefs through ideas originally expounded by Gregory,
yet probably would not recognize his name. As an advocate for the
conceptual understanding of the Trinity, Gregory set precedents for
the way his fellow and future Christians would perceive and worship
God. Holding that Jesus was both fully divine and fully human,
Gregory added new complexity to Christianitys grasp of the
mysterious relationship between the Son and the Father. He also
explored the nature of the Holy Spirit by means of scriptural
analysis, both in the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament.
Gregorys enlightening revelations resonate throughout the varied
religious landscape of Christian creed, cult, and code. Christopher
A. Beeley examines Gregorys doctrine of the Trinity in the full
range of his theological and practical vision of the Christian
life. Beeley examines and analyzes Gregorys teachings on the
purification, illumination, and limitations of the theologian; the
saving work of Christ within the context of Gregorys understanding
of salvation; the place of the Holy Spirit in the work of the
Trinity; and the Trinitarian purpose of pastoral ministry. This
book combines expansive coverage of Gregorys works with meticulous
close-readings and analyses to impart new interpretations in the
areas of Christology, Pneumatology, and Christian ministry.
