Saint Gregory of Nazianzus was a fourth century Church Father, whose defense of the doctrine of the Trinity (God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) made him one of the greatest champions of orthodoxy against Arianism. Following his death, as Gregory’s works circulated throughout the empire, they exacted a large influence on theological thought. In 451 he was designated as ‘Theologian’ by the Council of Chalcedon —a title held by no others, save John the Apostle and Symeon the New Theologian. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Gregory’s collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
