Following an overview of Gregory's life and major works, Beeley traces the central\u003cbr\u003esoteriological meaning of Gregory's doctrine in the spiritual dialectic of purification and illumination; the dynamic process of divinization (\u003cem\u003etheosis\u003c\/em\u003e); the singular identity of Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God; the divinity and essential presence of the Holy Spirit; and the interpretation of\u003cbr\u003eScripture according to the Spirit. The book culminates in Gregory's understanding of the Trinity as a whole -- which is theology in the fullest sense -- rooted in the monarchy of God the Father and uniquely known in the divine economy of salvation. Finally, Beeley identifies the Trinitarian\u003cbr\u003eshape of pastoral ministry, on which Gregory is also the foundational teacher for later Christian tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeeley offers new insights in several key areas, reinterpreting the famous \u003cem\u003eTheological Orations\u003c\/em\u003e and Christological epistles within the full corpus of Gregory's orations, poems, and letters. Gregory stands out as the leading ecclesiastical figure in the Eastern Roman Empire and the most powerful\u003cbr\u003etheologian of his age, who produced the definitive expression of Trinitarian orthodoxy from a characteristically Eastern tradition of Origenist theology, independent of the work of Athanasius and in several respects more insightful than his Cappadocian contemporaries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLong eclipsed in modern scholarship, Gregory Nazianzen is now brought into full view as the major witness to the Trinity among the Greek fathers of the Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher A.
