.

(“gregory of nyssa”, also known as gregory nyssen (greek: Γρηγόριος Νύσσης; c. 335 – c. 395), was ‘bishop’ of ‘nyssa’ from ‘372’ to ‘376’ and from ‘378’ until his death)

(he is venerated as a ‘saint’ in ‘roman catholicism’, ‘eastern orthodoxy’, ‘oriental orthodoxy’, ‘lutheranism’, and ‘anglicanism’)

(‘gregory’, his ‘elder brother’ (‘basil’ of ‘caesarea’), and their friend “gregory of nazianzus” are collectively known as the “cappadocian fathers”)

(‘gregory’ lacked the ‘administrative ability’ of his brother ‘basil’ or the contemporary influence of “gregory of nazianzus”, but he was an ‘erudite theologian’ who made significant contributions to the doctrine of the ”trinity’ and the ‘nicene creed’)

(gregory’s ‘philosophical writings’ were influenced by “origen”)
(‘origen’ was another christian scholar)

(since the ‘mid-20th 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’)
