In his writings and his career Gregory of Nyssa assumes many roles.
He is a Christian Platonist, a spiritual guide for ascetics and
those seeking the vision of God, as well as one of those who shaped
the Trinitarian doctrine of God espoused at Constantinople in 381.
But he is also a popular preacher and, paradoxically, someone
unafraid of deeper speculations regarding the meaning of the
Christian ideal. The translations in Part One illustrate these
various concerns, but are not a sufficient basis for the thesis of
Part Two, one that attempts to answer the question of how to
describe the coherence of a thinker far from systematic. One
solution is to appeal to Gregory's conviction that after this world
all Christians, indeed all humans, will be united in diversity, and
that this means that all are now on the one path to their destiny,
however much their progress may differ. This answer does not
pretend to solve all problems, nor does it rule out other
approaches to Gregory's thought. But it locates Gregory's work in
the liturgical and sacramental life of the church that includes
ordinary as well as elite Christians.
