Episode 17: The Cappadocian Fathers, Part 2: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, Gregory of Nyssa, "Mystical Theology", Episode 17, Prof. C. Veniamin
Episode 17 of our “Mystical Theology” series is deeper probe in to the trinitarian theology of the great Cappadocian Fathers: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, Gregory of Nyssa, and also Amphilochius of Iconium.
Following a reading of Letter 234 on the Essence-Energies distinction, we explore the various ways that the Cappadocians affirm the oneness of God the Holy Trinity, in preparation for their seminal teaching of the Monarchy of God the Father, and the mystery of the Threeness of God.
