On Death and Eternal Life, St. Gregory of Nyssa

The seven works of this book explore the great mystery of death and the promise of eternal life. They present a vision that is consistent, philosophically profound, and characteristic of St. Gregory of Nyssa’s wider theology. St Gregory of Nyssa played a crucial role in the theological controversies of the late fourth century and his theological synthesis powerfully expresses the Scriptures and the fundamental proclamation of the gospel while engaging the conceptual world inherited from Greek philosophy.
