Short biography
Gregory of Nyssa, also known as Gregory Nyssen (c. 335 – c. 395), was bishop of Nyssa from 372 to 376 and from 378 until his death. He is venerated as a saint in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism. Gregory, his brother Basil of Caesarea, and Gregory of Nazianzus are collectively known as the Cappadocian Fathers.

Brilliant exercise in spiritual allegory, as Gregory of Nyssa reads the life of Moses as a typological archetype for the virtuous life.

Quem de fato foi S. Gregório de Nissa? Um bispo? Um teólogo? Um pensador? Um místico? Um exegeta? As numerosas obras, importantes e originais, de caráter polêmico, expositivo, doutrinal e exegético, confirmam a figura poliédrica de S. Gregório de Nissa. Ele soube sintetizar harmonicamente a visão do homem propriamente bíblica com os elementos mais interessantes do pensamento de algumas das figuras mais importantes da cultura filosófica precedente, tais como Platão, Aristóteles, Posidônio, Galeno e Orígenes. Neste volume, pela primeira vez em tradução brasileira, o leitor tem acesso a três das mais significativas obras do grande capadócio, a saber: A criação do homem, A alma e a ressurreição e A grande catequese. Trata-se, sem dúvida, de mais um sucesso da coleção Patrística.… (more)

Selected letters among the "three hierarchs" of the Orthodox tradition, chosen more to give layfolk an impression of theirbnlives and times than to fully express their theology; some are religious and others are minor pieces on details of their secular lives
