Church Fathers and Resurrection,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: On the Soul and the Resurrection: St Gregory of Nyssa (Paperback)
This is a great little treatise by one of the early church fathers dealing with the resurrection and how it relates to the human soul. Many of the early fathers sought to understand their Christian faith through the lens of their secular educations, and Gregory is not afraid to apply the science of his day to the many questions he poses in this dialogue with his sister, Macrina. If you have ever wondered how the early church tried to understand the resurrection, this book may be a good place to start. The book deals with such subjects as the nature of the soul, its elemental qualities (earth, air, fire, and water), its relation to the physical body, emotions, origin, and man's purpose. Many great patristic themes crop up and Gregory's theological skill is evident throughout. There is a brief introduction by the translator. Very recommended.
