Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 8: Second Series, Translated Into English With Prolegomena and Explanatory Notes
Under the persecution of the second Maximinus, a Christian gentleman of good position and fair estate in Pontus, and Macrina his wife, suffered severe hardships. They escaped with their lives, and appear to have retained, or recovered, some of their property. Of their children the names of two only have survived: Gregory and Basil. The former became bishop of one of the sees of Cappadocia. The latter acquired a high reputation in Pontus and the neighbouring districts as an advocate of eminence, and as a teacher of rhetoric. His character in the Church for probity and piety stood very high. He married an orphaned gentlewoman named Emmelia, whose father had suffered impoverishment and death for Christ's sake, and who was herself a conspicuous example of high minded and gentle Christian womanhood. Of this happy union were born ten children, five boys and live girls. One of the boys appears to have died in infancy, for on the death of the elder Basil four sons and five daughters were left to share the considerable wealth which he left behind him. Of the nine survivors the eldest was a daughter, named, after her grandmother, Macrina. The eldest of the sons was Basil, the second Naucratius, and the third Gregory. Peter, the youngest of the whole family, was born shortly before his father's death. Of this remarkable group the eldest is commemorated as Saint Macrina in the biography written by her brother Gregory. Naucratius died in early manhood, about the time of the ordination of Basil as reader. The three remaining brothers occupied respectively the sees of Cæsarea, Nyssa, and Sebasteia.
As to the date of St. Basil's birth opinions have varied between 316 and 330. The later, which is supported by Garnier, Tillemont, Maran, Fessler, and Bohringer, may probably be accepted as approximately correct. It is true that Basil calls himself an old man in 374, but he was prematurely worn out with work and bad health, and to his friends wrote freely and without concealment of his infirmities. There appears no reason to question the date 329 or 330.
Two cities, Cæsarea in Cappadocia and Neocæsarea in Pontus, have both been named as his birthplace.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a translation of a portion of the works of Saint Basil, offers a glimpse into the life and thought of one of the most influential figures of the early Christian church. Basil was a theologian, orator, and bishop who lived in the 4th century AD. His writings, which include sermons, letters, and theological treatises, provide valuable insights into the development of Christian doctrine and the challenges facing the church in his time. Basil was a skilled writer and an astute thinker, and his writings display a deep understanding of the human condition and the nature of God. He was a strong advocate for the Nicene Creed and a fierce opponent of Arianism, a heresy that denied the divinity of Christ. Basil's writings played a significant role in shaping the development of Christian thought, and they continue to be studied and debated by theologians and scholars today. They offer a rich resource for understanding the history of Christianity and the enduring legacy of one of its greatest thinkers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
