The Cappadocian Fathers had great impact on the church of the
fourth century,having brought their passion for Christ and their
theological expertise to life in their ministry. While Basil,
Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus are well known,the women
of their families were also highly influential. In The Cappadocian
Mothers, Carla D. Sunberg uncovers the lives of seven women who may
have had more effect on the theology of the church than previously
believed. As the Cappadocians wrestle with the Christianization of
the concept of deification, we find the women in their lives
becoming models for their theological understanding.The lives of
the women become points of intersection in the kenosis-theosis
parabola. Not only are the Cappadocian Mothers brought to life in
the texts, but they become models of an optimistic theology of
restoration for all of humanity without constraint of gender.
