Description

In his dream of a world-culture renewed by the spirit of the Gospel, St Gregory of Nazianzus stands as the veritable founding father of the Byzantine religious synthesis, and his own conception of the vision of God as light made him an important authority for Byzantine spiritual writers. This study offers definitive insight into the mind of one of the greatest protagonists of Nicene theology, and through his extraordinary personality, opens a window onto the world of Late Antiquity and the place of the Christian Church in it.
