Gregory of Nyssa: Homilies on the Our Father. An English Translation with Commentary and Supporting Studies
Proceedings of the 14th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Paris, 4-7 September 2018)
Series: - Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 168
Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Our Father are the second explanation of this central prayer of Christian worship in Greek Antiquity. Composed at the end of the 4th century, these five homilies offer a spiritual and pastoral commentary of the Pater Noster. The present volume, edited by Matthieu Cassin (Paris), Hélène Grelier-Deneux (Paris) and Françoise Vinel (Strasbourg), offers introductory materials, a new English translation, the first edition of the 15th century Latin translation by Athanasios Chalkeopoulos, together with five studies that form a commentary for the different homilies, and nineteen shorter contributions on various aspects of the text. The contributors envisage the text according to exegesis and theology, but also to philosophy, rhetoric and history of Christian communities.
Matthieu Cassin, researcher at the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (CNRS, Paris), is a specialist of Gregory of Nyssa and of the transmission of Greek Patristic Texts. He also works on Greek manuscripts and library history. He has recently published a new edition and translation of the Homilies on the Our Father of Gregory of Nyssa, together with Christian Boudignon (Sources chrétiennes 596, Paris, 2018).
Hélène Grelier-Deneux, Ph. D. (2008) in Greek Patristic, is Lecturer in Greek Literature at the University Paris Nanterre. She works on Gregory of Nyssa, exegetical traditions and religious controversies. At the moment, she is preparing a monography about Gregory of Nyssa against Apolinarius of Laodicea.
Françoise Vinel, Emeritus Professor at Strasbourg University (Faculty of Catholic Theology) is a specialist of Gregory of Nyssa and of Bible's Interpretation in Late Antiquity. She also works on La Bible d’Alexandrie, the Septuaginta French Translation. She published Gregory of Nyssa's Homilies on Eccleclesiastes (Sources chrétiennes 416) and is preparing together with Mariette Canévet Gregory’s Homilies on the Song of Songs for Sources chrétiennes.

Academic readership in Patristic and History of Theology will be interested in these studies on a major text of Christian Exegesis; the English translation should be useful in Academic Libraries.
