Regarded as one of the three hierarchs or pillars of orthodoxy
along with Gregory of Nazianzus and John Chrysostom, Basil is a key
figure in the formative process of Christianity in the fourth
century. While his role in establishing Trinitarian terminology, as
well as his function in shaping monasticism, his social thought and
even his contribution to the evolution of liturgical forms have
been the focus of research for many years, there are few studies
which centre on his political thought. Basil played a major role in
the political and religious life between Cappadocia and Armenia and
was a key figure in the tumultuous relationship between Church and
State in Late Antiquity. He was a great religious leader and a
gifted diplomat, and developed a 'special relationship' with
Emperor Valens and other high imperial officials.
