Gregory’s soteriological pneumatology is surprisingly absent from scholarship, particularly in light of a resurgent inter- est in pneumatology, and in Gregory’s use of θέωσις.

College, London. VOLUME 8 St. Basil: Letters and Selected Works New York Christian Literature Company 1890-1900 3 THE TREATISE DE SPIRITU SANCTO THE NINE HOMILIES OF THE HEXAEMERON AND THE LETTERS OF SAINT BASIL THE GREAT ARCHBISHOP OF CAESAREA TRANSLATED WITH NOTES BY THE REV. BLOMFIELD JACKSON, M. A. VICAR OF SAINT BARTHOLOMEW’S, MOOR LANE, AND FELLOW OF KING’S COLLEGE, LONDON 4 PREFACE This translation of a portion of the works of St. Basil was originally begun under the editorial supervision of Dr. Wace. It was first announced that the translation would comprise the De Spiritu Sancto and Select Letters, but it was ultimately arranged with Dr. Wace that a volume of the series should be devoted to St. Basil, containing, as well as the De Spiritu Sancto, the whole of the letters, and the Hexaemeron. The De Spiritu Sancto has already appeared in an English form, as have portions of the Letters. The De Spiritu Sancto was presumably selected for publication as being at once the most famous, as it is among the most valuable, of the extant works of this Father. The Letters, comprise short theological treatises and contain passages of historical and varied biographical interest, as well as valuable specimens of spiritual and consolatory exhortation.

Historians substitute books for panels, bright description for pigments, and thus render the memory of past events both stronger and more permanent, for the painter’s art is ruined by time.

  • The Rhetoric of Homiletics: Preaching, Persuasion, And
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&M University THE RHETORIC OF HOMILETICS: PREACHING, PERSUASION, AND THE CAPPADOCIAN FATHERS A Dissertation by CATHERINE LORELEI RILEY Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kristan Poirot Co-Chair of Committee, Jennifer Jones Barbour Committee Members, Martin J. Medhurst Daniel L. Schwartz Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge December 2015 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2015 Catherine L. Riley ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the rhetoric of preaching. The project entails understanding and overcoming pejorative perspectives of rhetoric and limited perspectives of preaching that imbue public discourse, scholarship on homiletics, and historical accounts of preaching and preachers. This dissertation focuses on the fourth- century homilies of the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa). The argument is made that preaching is profoundly rhetorical in nature, both practically and theoretically. Three internal chapters support this argument and construct this dissertation as both a rhetorical history and a rhetorical criticism research project. Chapter One introduces the aims, perspectives, and approaches of the project. Chapter Two presents broad and specific historical context necessary for understanding the rhetorical insights, arguments, and theories advanced in the subsequent chapters. Chapter Three illustrates in fine detail some of the practical implications of acknowledging the rhetorical nature of preaching and preachers. Chapter Four further pursues the theoretical corollary of the argument by establishing the deeply rhetorical origins of the preaching role and form.

  • Gregory of Nazianzus
    Gregory of Nazianzus Gregory of Nazianzus (Greek: Γρηγόριος ὁ Ναζιανζηνός Grēgorios ho Saint Gregory of Nazianzēnos; c. 329[2] – 25 January 390[2][3]), also known as Gregory the Nazianzus Theologian or Gregory Nazianzen, was a 4th-century Archbishop of Constantinople, and theologian. He is widely considered the most accomplished rhetorical stylist of the patristic age.[4] As a classically trained orator and philosopher he infused Hellenism into the early church, establishing the paradigm of Byzantine theologians and church officials.[4] Gregory made a significant impact on the shape of Trinitarian theology among both Greek- and Latin-speaking theologians, and he is remembered as the "Trinitarian Theologian". Much of his theological work continues to influence modern theologians, especially in regard to the relationship among the three Persons of the Trinity. Along with the brothers Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa, he is known as one of the Cappadocian Fathers. Gregory is a saint in both Eastern and Western Christianity. In the Roman Catholic Church he is numbered among the Doctors of the Church; in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches he is revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs, along with Basil the Great and John Chrysostom. He is also one of only three men in the life of the Orthodox Church who have been officially designated "Theologian" by epithet,[5] the other two being St. John the Theologian (the Evangelist), and St.Symeon the New Theologian.

  • Saints of Medicine
    Saints of Medicine Patron Saints in General Patrons of Trades and Professions Patrons of Medical Topics Saints who were Physicians Saints of Medicine About this Book and More Patron Saints in General A patron saint is one who has been chosen by long tradition, or by competent authority, as a special intercessor with God, and is honoured by clergy and people with a special form of religious observance. The term patron may be applied to many types of subjects, places or topics; the word titular is applied only to the patron of a church or institution. The underlying doctrine of patrons is that of the communion of saints, or the bond of spiritual union existing between God's servants on earth, in heaven, or in purgatory. The saints are regarded as advocates and intercessors for those still making their earthly pilgrimage. Most Christians understand the concept of having a friend, a family member, or a fellow parishioner pray for them; intercession by patrons is simply prayer by a member of your spiritual family who is already closer to God. Patrons of Trades and Professions The beliefs of a Christian in an age of Faith prompted him to place not only his churches under the protection of some illustrious servant of God, but the ordinary interests of life, his health, and family, trade, maladies, and perils, his death, his city and country. The whole social life of the Catholic world before the Reformation was animated with the idea of protection from the citizens of heaven. In England there were 40,000 religious corporations, including ecclesiastical bodies, monasteries, convents, military orders, industrial and professional guilds, and charitable institutions, each of which had its patron, its rites, funds, and methods of assistance.

  • Evagrius and Gregory: Nazianzen Or Nyssen? Cappadocian (And Origenian) Influence on Evagrius Ilaria L
    Evagrius and Gregory: Nazianzen or Nyssen? Cappadocian (and Origenian) Influence on Evagrius Ilaria L. E. Ramelli VAGRIUS PONTICUS (345/6–399) is one of the most outstanding Greek Patristic thinkers and ascetics in the Origenian tradition. His intellectual figure and his E 1 thought are undergoing a reassessment, and rightly so. How- ever, most of this reassessment still remains to be done, especially with regard to a unitary vision of his production that overcomes the unfortunate split between his ascetic and his philosophical works (the former easily accepted, the latter deemed daringly and dangerously ‘Origenistic’), and with re- gard to his (too often misunderstood) ‘Origenism’. In order to address both questions, which are closely interrelated, it is necessary to tackle the thorny issue of Origen’s true thought— as opposed to the false reconstruction of it that was made in the course of the Origenist controversy and that partially still holds today—and its exact impact on Evagrius’ system, as well as to investigate the possible role of the Cappadocians in the trans- mission of Origen’s authentic ideas to Evagrius. Gregory of Nyssa is, among the Cappadocians and among all 1 At the very least see A. Casiday, Evagrius Ponticus (New York 2006); J. Konstantinovsky, Evagrius Ponticus: The Making of a Gnostic (Burlington 2009); K. Corrigan, Evagrius and Gregory: Mind, Soul and Body in the 4th Century (Farnham/Burlington 2009). Corrigan’s attention to the Kephalaia Gnostica and the Letter to Melania or Great Letter, and his holistic approach to Evagrius’ thought, are commendable. The same holistic approach (i.e.
