De què tracta
Cartes de Basili més l'Hexaemeron, les homilies sobre els sis dies de la creació, i el tractat sobre l'Esperit Sant.
Context i història
L'Hexaemeron són nou homilies predicades en una Quaresma, i es noten predicades: Basili s'atura a parlar dels peixos, dels ocells i dels arbres amb el que sabia la ciència del seu temps. El De Spiritu Sancto va servir per sostenir la divinitat de l'Esperit, que Nicea havia deixat sense definir. I les cartes, que sovint es passen per alt, són una de les millors fonts que hi ha sobre com funcionava de debò una església del segle IV.

This translation of a portion of the works of St. Basil was originally begun under the editorial supervision of Dr. Wace. It was first announced that the translation would comprise the De Spiritu Sancto and Select Letters, but it was ultimately arranged with Dr. Wace that a volume of the series should be devoted to St. Basil, containing, as well as the De Spiritu Sancto, the whole of the letters, and the Hexaemeron. The De Spiritu Sancto has already appeared in an English form, as have portions of the Letters. The De Spiritu Sancto was presumably selected for publication as being at once the most famous, as it is among the most valuable, of the extant works of this Father. The Letters, comprise short theological treatises and contain passages of historical and varied biographical interest, as well as valuable specimens of spiritual and consolatory exhortation. The Hexaemeron was added as being the most noted and popular of St. Basil's compositions in older days, and as illustrating his exegetic method and skill, and his power as an extempore preacher.
