The Dionysius Circle PodcastParticipation and Righteousness in Paul and Gregory of Nyssa – A Conversation with Dr. Joshua HeavinIn this episode of the Dionysius Circle podcast, I explore with New Testament scholar Dr. Joshua Heavin his recent article on participation in Christ and divine and human righteousness. Drawing from both Paul’s letters and the theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa, we examine how righteousness is not merely a moral property but, at its deepest level, a person — Christ himself. We also unpack Gregory’s fourfold model of participation and how it offers a transformative vision of the Christian life.2025-06-121h 14

Forging PloughsharesSermon: The Liberating Work of Salvation with Gregory of NyssaPaul Axton preaches - The test of authentic Christianity is its liberating effect, and the most obvious example of this liberation pertains to chattel slavery in the modern period. The trans-Atlantic slave trade directly involved nearly every Christian group. Gregory of Nyssa provides the earliest critique of slavery and a theology that cannot tolerate this sort of moral and theological failure. His theology is the remedy to the modern theological failure.

Way of the Fathers31—Gregory of Nyssa: Zero to Hero Gregory of Nyssa was born into a family of high achievers. His brother was Basil the Great; his sister was Macrina the Younger. In Gregory’s young life, however, he was something of a disappointment. It’s not that he was a sinner or unbeliever, but he seemed to lack the holy ambition and drive that were characteristic of his older siblings. Basil often reprimanded him as a bumbler. But at Basil’s death Gregory came into his own and suddenly emerged a major player on the world scene—a master of spiritual and systematic theology, a leader a...2021-01-1218 min
Christian Saints PodcastSaint Gregory of NyssaSaint Gregory of Nyssa was a 4th century bishop and theologian, as well as the younger brother of St Basil the Great.

(Gregory of Nyssa & Augustine)In part 5 of The Problem of Evil, we explore the theology of Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine in the 4th-5th Century. These two men would become pillars of the Christian traditions of the East and West. It's really important to have listened to Part 4 where we discussed Plotinus and Origen in order to make sense of the theology of both of these men.
We'll see in today's episode how Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine answered questions related to the problem of evil such as:
- How do we define "evil"?

A Word from the Holy FathersSt. Gregory of Nyssa on Emulating the Fortuitous Birth of MosesIn the first sections of the second book of his Life of Moses, St. Gregory of Nyssa instructs that Christians are to "emulate the fortuitous birth of Moses"—but how can this be done? Is not birth outside the realm of a person’s control? In examining the manner in which St. Gregory exposes "birth" as the constant making of choices by the free human creature, we discover the rich manner in which the saint finds spiritual significance in the historical moments of Scripture.2014-05-1300 minA Word from the Holy FathersSt. Gregory of Nyssa on Emulating the Fortuitous Birth of MosesIn the first sections of the second book of his Life of Moses, St. Gregory of Nyssa instructs that Christians are to "emulate the fortuitous birth of Moses"—but how can this be done?
