Gregory of Nyssa: The Minor Treatises on Trinitarian Theology and Apollinarism

These proceedings present the results of the 11th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa held in Tübingen in 2008. The Trinitarian thought of Gregory deserves special attention because of its importance for the ending of the Trinitarian controversy in the late fourth century, paving the way for the widely accepted Trinitarian theology in the fifth century. This volume (which does not include Contra Eunomium) offers a contribution to the research on Gregory's Trinitarian theology as it is present notably in his so-called minor treatises. It provides a German translation of Ad Eustathium, Ad Graecos, Ad Ablabium, Ad Simplicium, Adversus Macedonianos, and De deitate filii. Detailed analysis of each treatise is accompanied by supporting studies on related theological and philosophical themes, followed by contributions which take into consideration the link between Gregory's Trinitarian thought and the christological question (In illud tunc et ipse filius, the anti-Apollinarist works).

Volker Henning Drecoll, Dr. theol (1996), Westfälische-Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Ephorus of the Evangelisches Stift Tübingen, is Professor of Church History at the Evangelisch-theologische Fakultät Tübingen.

Para concluir puede decirse que el Prof. Drecoll añade con este volumen a sus ya numerosas publicaciones el resultado valioso de un gran trabajo conjunto, que contribuye, sin duda, al redescubri-miento de las obras dogmáticas menores de Gregorio de Nisa.

...les actes du 11e colloque consacré à l’oeuvre de Grégoire de Nysse renouvellent substantiellement notre connaissance de sa théologie trinitaire – la traduction donnée par H. Drecoll en constituant une base solide.
