A penetrating portrait of Basil the Great, defender of the Nicene faith, drawn from his life and writings.
This edition presents a careful look at Basil’s education, his monastic ideals, and his role in shaping early Christian practice and governance. It traces the challenges he faced under hostile rulers and the ways his thought addressed baptism, confession, and the priesthood.
Basil’s story unfolds from his family’s strong piety to his studies in Caesarea, Byzantium, and Athens. The book examines how his Greek education and deep religious conviction formed a steadfast commitment to the Nicene Creed, even as the church and empire battled over theology and unity. It also surveys his rules for monasteries, the care of novices, and how laypeople and clergy alike were urged to ground life in Scripture.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
