Abstract:

Prompted by Michel Foucault's observation that “salvation is first of all essentially subsistence,” this essay explores Gregory of Nyssa's discussion of Christian spiritual formation as a kind of salvific and transformative feeding of infants. This article argues that the prominent role of nourishment—and specifically breast milk—in Gregory's theory of progressive Christian perfection reflects broader Roman era family values concerning the power of breast feeding in the proper development of a child. With particular attention to Gregory's Encomium for Saint Basil, the Life of Moses, and his Homilies on the Song of Songs, this article demonstrates that references to the power of nourishment are no “mere metaphor” but rather represent an intensification of the prominent belief in antiquity that human nature can be altered according to the food a person eats. As such, Gregory employs the female body and its putatively maternal function as a regulatory symbol for Christian identity-formation. Mother's milk is thus offered as a mechanism for preserving and transmitting the ideal form of the Christian community that Gregory found embodied in the ambiguously gendered characters of the Song of Songs. True Christians, in Gregory's account, are identified by the milk on which they were fed and, in turn, the nurturing care they offer to others.

Abstract:

The aim of the presented paper is to analize the terminology describing humility and pride that appears in the writings of the Greek Fathers of the Church of the 4th century (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom). To describe a humility they used the traditional terms that derived from ancient philosophy and were also well known in the Septuagint and in the New Testament writings; and used in the letters by Saint Paul and Saint Peter. The ancient Greek thought didn’t know a virtue of humility, so the philosophers didn’t use the last of these terms. However, the first two were used in the ancient Greek literature, but usually in a pejorative sense and meant „smallness”, „weakness”, „misery”. In the works of Greek Fathers of the Church the adjective and the substantive had a wider semantic field than the substantive „virtue of humility”. They could have meant the virtue of humility, as well as a natural state of abasement of man as a created being; or a humiliation caused by the sin, and even all lowliness in the world of spirit and matter. The terms associated with the pride, used by the Greek Fathers of the Church, remained unchanged since the time of ancient Greek philosophy and literature, which devoted to this fault not less space than later Christianity.

Abstract:

Abstract The article shows that prior to the debate with the Monothelites, Maximus the Confessor followed the Christian tradition going back to Gregory of Nyssa in recognizing the presence of προαίρεσις in Christ and the saints. Later during the debate, Maximus declined to apply προαίρεσις to Christ and started to speak about the deactivation of προαίρεσις in the saints in the state of deification. Maximus was the first Orthodox author who distinguished deliberate choice (προαίρεσις) and natural will (θέλημα), and defended the presence of natural will in Christ according to His humanity. At the same time, the opposition of desire (βούλησις) and deliberate choice (προαίρεσις) can be found in some Neoplatonists, such as Iamblichus, Proclus, and Philoponus. Iamblichus and Proclus rejected the presence of προαίρεσις in the gods and god-like humans, admitting only the presence of βούλησις - the desire for the Good. Thus, the evolution of the doctrine of Maximus the Confessor, regarding the application of προαίρε- σις to Christ and the saints, finds a parallel doctrine (and even possibly a source) in Neoplatonism.

Abstract:

The period from the fourth through the seventh century witnessed the elaboration of Christian cults of saints with a particular interest in the ascetic labors and miraculous powers of holy men and women. Although much evidence for these cults derives from literary saints' lives, a genre that emerged simultaneously with the cults, scholars have overlooked the role of the hagiographer as devotee. Previous studies have tended to view an author's piety as a barrier to historical inquiry, dismissing miracle accounts (among other hagiographical elements) as pious fictions. Neglect of the religious dimensions of the activity of writing arises in part from the confluence of two trends. First, renewed interest in late antique popular culture highlights the affinities between the religious life of elites and nonelites. Despite the refreshing aspects of this approach, the distinctly literary contributions to the formation of piety have been overlooked. Second, traditional divisions between patristics and social history continue to exclude theology and religious composition from discussions of piety on the assumption that thought and action are separable. Thanks to the work of Catherine Bell and others, students of religion can appreciate that thinking is an activity, something obvious to Christians in late antiquity such as Gregory of Nyssa, for whom contemplation of God was virtuous motion.

Full text

Abstract:

Notre recherche porte sur la théologie mystique chez Grégoire de Nysse et effectue une relecture de la mystique du Nysséen à partir de deux thématiques capitales dans l’œuvre de ce dernier : la thématique gnoséologique et la thématique érotique. Au cours de cette étude, nous montrons la place considérable de la gnôsis dans l’œuvre grégorienne et nous redéfinissons le statut de celle-ci dans l’ascension de l’âme vers Dieu en lien étroit avec l’amour. Cet amour, désigné par l’érôs, constitue le double mouvement de l’expérience mystique et se définit comme l’érôs de Dieu pour l’homme (l’incarnation du Christ) et l’érôs de l’homme vers Dieu (la divinisation de l’homme). Cette conception de l’érôs résulte à la fois d’une continuité et d’une discontinuité par rapport à l’héritage philosophique grec, dans une relation qui nous invite à redéfinir la théologie comme généalogie. À partir de cette aventure érotique entre Dieu et l’homme, Grégoire établit une relation intrinsèque entre foi et raison et pose les fondements d’un dialogue véritable entre théologie et philosophie puisque, selon lui, la véritable ascension mystique ne saurait être détachée de la démarche gnoséologique, elle-même étroitement liée à l’expérience érotique. Ainsi la mystique, fondée sur la gnôsis et l’érôs, redéfinit-elle la théologie comme mystique
This piece of research into Gregory of Nyssa’s mystical theology provides a rereading of Gregory’s mysticism, based upon two leading themes in his work: gnoseology and eros. The study demonstrates the considerable space Gregory gives to gnôsis in his work, and redefines the role it plays in the soul’s ascent to God, which is closely connected with love. This love, designated as erôs, constitutes the dual movement of mystical experience, and is defined as the erôs of God for human beings (incarnation of Christ) and as the erôs that draws human beings towards God (divinisation of humanity). Such a conception of erôs is both continuous and discontinuous with the Greek philosophical tradition, a relation that invites a redefinition of theology as genealogy. On the basis of this erotic adventure between God and humankind, Gregory establishes an intrinsic relation between faith and reason, and lays the foundations of a genuine dialogue between theology and philosophy. For according to him, authentic mystical ascent cannot be detached from the gnoseological process, which, in turn, is closely linked to erotic experience. In this way, a mysticism founded on gnôsis and erôs leads to a redefinition of theology as mysticism

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse présente la pensée de Grégoire de Nysse sur la corrélation entre le cosmos et l’homme. La recherche a pour ambition d’expliquer et de comprendre la conception grégorienne de la création et l’interprétation du rôle de l’homme dans la création pour voir si elle apporte ou non un complément potentiel au débat contemporain sur la crise écologique. Il s’avère que cette problématique contemporaine conduit à renouveler notre regard sur les textes de Grégoire et à dégager ses réflexions sur un mode de comportement envers la création, propre à sa vision théologique de Grégoire. L’analyse des concepts concernant le cosmos et l’homme démontre une bipolarité de leurs relations possibles, qui s’exprime dans l’idée d’ontologie et d’éthique cosmique. L’éthique semble alors être la liberté vécue de l’homme sur cette terre, avec pour résultat le principe agissant de son rapport avec le reste de la création au cours de sa vie. D’après Grégoire, l’approche humaine en ce qui concerne l’environnement n’est qu’une question de liberté de choix qui pourtant marque le cheminement de l’homme vers la nouvelle création, celle créée par le Christ
This thesis presents Gregory of Nyssa’s point of view about the relation between man and the cosmos. The current analysis aims to understand and explain Gregory’s concept of creation and the way this concept perceives the role of the human in the creation; this is in order to verify if it makes any eventual addition to the contemporary debate on ecological crises. Actually, this contemporary problematic contributes in renewing our view on Gregorian texts and shows a way of behaviour towards the nature/creation itself in accordance with the theological vision of Gregory. The analysis of concepts concerning the human and the cosmos stresses a twofold relation between them, expressed through the idea of ontology and cosmic ethics. In this case ethics seem to be the experimental liberty of man on this earth and as a consequence, the active principle of the relation with the rest of the creation in the frame of life. According to Gregory, the human approach towards the environment is only a question of free will which nevertheless determines the way of man to the new creation established by Christ

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines the role of nurturance in Gregory of Nyssa’s understanding of the progressive perfection of the soul. Reflecting the social ideology of his time—in which maternity and breastfeeding functioned as indexes for social legitimacy and the transfer of cultural identity—Gregory regularly emphasizes the symbolic power of nourishment in the formation of the soul. Throughout his work, milk is described as a transformative meal, a form of subsistence that is the essence of salvation and the way toward perfection. The chapter begins with a comparison of Gregory’s Encomium on Saint Basil and the Life of Moses in order to demonstrate how these texts emphasize the maternal food given to an infant as the foundation of and guarantor for later intellectual prowess and social position. The chapter turns next to the Homilies on the Song of Songs and the ways in which maternity, infancy, and breastfeeding enable the various transformations of the soul that take place throughout Gregory’s interpretation. For Gregory, the Song of Songs is an itinerary of trophic mutations premised on the assumption that all food contains an essence that perfects the one who eats it.

Abstract:

The idea of perpetual progress or epektasis has become a popular way to characterize the Byzantine and Orthodox approach to eschatology, whereby the human being forever stretches out in an unending ascent into God. Gregory of Nyssa is taken as the chief architect of this approach, but Maximus the Confessor is also frequently marshalled to the same cause. This chapter questions the applicability of epektasis to the theology of Maximus, and further challenges the hegemony of this idea as a general shorthand for the Byzantine and Orthodox view of eschatology. Without denying its presence as a component of Byzantine eschatological discourse, the far more prevalent interest in rest/stasis is brought out through an examination of Maximus’s eschatology. This is connected with the view that what is true of Christ’s humanity becomes true of the humanity of the saints by grace, and Christ’s enthroned humanity is no longer subject to growth or progress.

Full text

Abstract:

While a number of theologians maintain that the motives resting behind God’s love and punitive wrath are often opposed to one another, Chapter 6 argues that God’s just wrath is a facet of His love and that God’s punishment of sinners is an expression of this relentless love. To make this case, it is first contended that God’s creation out of love as well as the ministry of Christ support the notion that God’s love and punitive wrath are fundamentally one. Next, the work of Gregory of Nyssa and the contemporary philosopher R.A. Duff are built upon to construct a communicative model of divine punishment. According to this model, God’s punishment intends to communicate to sinners the censure they deserve, with the aim of persuading these individuals to start down the path of spiritual transformation. In the final section, the communicative theory of divine punishment is applied to the doctrine of hell. There it is suggested that, given the communicative theory, hell is best seen as a place where God tries to reform sinners and enable them to exit hell and join the glorified saints. But, it is shown, this conception of hell does not by itself entail universal salvation.
