Gregory, his elder brother Basil of Caesarea, and their friend Gregory of Nazianzus are collectively known as the Cappadocian Fathers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGregory lacked the administrative ability of his brother Basil or the contemporary influence of Gregory of Nazianzus, but he was an erudite Christian theologian who made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity and the Nicene Creed. Gregory's philosophical writings were influenced by Origen. Since the mid-twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in interest in Gregory's works from the academic community, particularly involving universal salvation, which has resulted in challenges to many traditional interpretations of his theology. \u003cbr\u003eGregory is also notable for being the first person in recorded history to have written against all forms of slavery, declaring the institution inherently sinful.\u003cbr\u003e=====================================\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Motka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52105162031406,"sku":null,"price":857.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8017\/0286\/files\/205197-004jpg.jpg?v=1780018295","url":"https:\/\/motka.store\/products\/1573-works-of-gregory-of-nyssa-antique-vellum-bound-16th-century-folio","provider":"Motka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
