The Cappadocian theologians and the wider Christianity they represent
Thank you for putting into words what has been my sense about my walk with God/ Christ/ the Holy Spirit. And the humility it brings to my walk with my fellow humans.
If I wanted to dive deeper into this Cappadocian tradition, which places would you recommend for a good point of departure? And thank you for
writing. I always find it interesting and thought provoking.
Hi David. Thanks for reading! In my opinion, find:
Anthony Meredith, The Cappadocians — the best accessible scholarly overview of all three figures together.
Gregory of Nyssa, The Life of Moses — the primary source where epektasis is most fully developed.
Anna M. Silvas, Macrina the Younger: Philosopher of God — the definitive treatment of Macrina as a theological figure in her own right.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite substqcks.
Keep the great content coming.
Comprehensive. Thoughtful. Challenging. Humble.
The organized church hates the "relational" as it interferes with their salvation gatekeeping and fund raising.
I loved this! It is never the destination that defines us, but the journey on the path - wherever it leads
