Although the reception of the Eastern Father Gregory of Nyssa has
varied over the centuries, the past few decades have witnessed a
profound awakening of interest in his thought. The Body and Desire
sets out to retrieve the full range of Gregory's thinking on the
challenges of the ascetic life by examining within the context of
his theological commitments his evolving attitudes on what we now
call gender, sex, and sexuality. Exploring Gregory's understanding
of the importance of bodily and spiritual maturation for the
practices of contemplation and virtue, Raphael A. Cadenhead
recovers the vital relevance of this vision of transformation for
contemporary ethical discourse.
