Di che cosa tratta
I trattati dogmatici di Gregorio di Nissa nella serie inglese Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: la polemica contro Eunomio e la Grande catechesi.
Contesto e storia
La disputa con Eunomio verte sulla conoscibilità dell'essenza di Dio, e Gregorio sostiene che non lo sia: i nomi con cui ne parliamo sono nostri e non toccano ciò che Dio è. Quell'argomento è il fondamento della successiva teologia negativa greca. Come in tutta la serie, il volume è un raggruppamento degli editori ottocenteschi e non un'unità pensata da Gregorio: le opere che contiene non furono scritte insieme né per lo stesso pubblico.
Contesto editoriale, non una fonte citabile: a differenza dei passi dell'opera, questi dati non si possono verificare sul corpus.
He next marvellously overthrows the unintelligible statements of Eunomius which assert that the essence of the Father is not separated or divided, and does not become anything else. He then shows the unity of the Son with the Father and Eunomius' lack of understanding and knowledge in the Scriptures. Gregory further shows that the Only-Begotten being begotten not only of the Father, but also impassibly of the Virgin by the Holy Ghost, does not divide the substance; seeing that neither is the nature of men divided or severed from the parents by being begotten, as is ingeniously demonstrated from the instances of Adam and Abraham. He further very appositely expounds the meaning of the term “Only-Begotten, “ and of the term “First born,“ four times used by the Apostle. Gregory again discusses the generation of the Only-Begotten, and other different modes of generation, material and immaterial, and nobly demonstrates that the Son is the brightness of the Divine glory, and not a creature. He explains the phrase “The Lord created Me,” and the argument about the origination of the Son, the deceptive character of Eunomius' reasoning, and the passage which says, “My glory will I not give to another,” examining them from different points of view. After expounding the high estate of the Almighty, the Eternity of the Son, and the phrase “being made obedient,” he shows the folly of Eunomius in his assertion that the Son did not acquire His sonship by obedience. He thus proceeds to a magnificent discourse of the interpretation of 236 “Mediator,” “Like,” “Ungenerate,” and “generate,” and of “The likeness and seal of the energy of the Almighty and of His Works.” He expounds the passage of the Gospel, “The Father judgeth no man,” and = 242 further speaks of the assumption of man with body and soul wrought by the Lord, of the transgression of Adam, and of death and the resurrection of the dead.…
