An English Translation with Supporting Studies
Editor:
The Contra Eunomium is probably Gregory of Nyssa’s most challenging work with regards to his theological and philosophical thought, and one that continues to draw the deeper attention of contemporary scholars.
This volume devoted to Contra Eunomium I constitutes, in a certain way, a new version of the Proceedings of the 6th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (1988). It offers a revised English translation of Contra Eunomium I by S. G. Hall, accompanied by twenty-two supporting studies from a broad range of philological, philosophical, and theological perspectives. These studies include a selection of the most relevant papers of the 1988 Proceedings, supplemented with new contributions that explore relevant issues developed by contemporary research.

Abstract
This paper devoted to Gregory of Nyssa’s Contra Eunomium I attempts to theologically understand the importance of biblical names referred to the Trinity in Gregory’s thought. These names—e. g. Father and Son—convey the essential unity of the divine Persons while at the same signifying their distinction, because the Father and the Son are one in essence and one because the one exists in the other. This article focus its attention on the way Gregory uses divine names in his defense of God’s unity and aims at analyzing the influence exerted on Gregory’s epistemology by the doctrine of equality between the Father and the Son and their difference from creation. This may help readers comprehend some of language’s decisive role in Gregory’s theology and stress the fine equilibrium he achieves: the Apophatism that radically sets apart his theology has nothing in common with a kind of Equivocism that makes any knowledge of God impossible.
Analytical and Supporting Studies. Proceedings of the 13th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Rome, 17-20 September 2014)
Taken together, Gregory of Nyssa’s XV Homilies In Canticum Canticorum are at the same time – as if in unison – a work of spiritual, exegetical, and theological doctrine. The wide spectrum of the themes present in them have prompted a great interest in this work, not only among scholars of patristics or theology, but also among those interested in biblical interpretation, ancient rhetoric or Christian mystical doctrine. These Proceedings present the results of the 13th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Rome, 17-20 September 2014): a systematic commentary of Gregory’s In Canticum from a broad perspective in the form of sixteen papers and a selection of fourteen short essays devoted to various issues that represent a valuable set of supporting studies.
