On God and Christ, The Five Theological Orations and Two Letters to Cledonius: St. Gregory of Nazianzus by St. Gregory of Nazianzus

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

Honestly I read this for one short section. I was looking for the quote in which he sums up the work of the atonement saying, "That which he has not assumed he has not healed." This collection of works from St. Gregory Nazianzus contains his five theological orations where he discusses theology proper, that is, the doctrine of God and the Trinity. Also included are his Two Letters to Cledonius. His chief interlocutors seem to be Apollonaris and Nestorius. St. Gregory Nazianzen insists on the full union of Jesus' two natures where neither one replaces or destroys the other. This means that he is one person (contra Nestorianism) and that he has a human mind and a human soul (contra Apollonarianism). If he does not take those things on himself then they are not healed in us. This collection is a good look into Christological issues of the fourth century.
