| Summary: | I investigate Gregory of Nyssa's use of the Spirit's anointing motif in the Antirrheticus adversus Apolinarium to ground the unity of the divine and human in Christ, against Apolinarius of Laodicea's own Spirit-based account of Christ's unity. Gregory's three explicit references to Christ's anointing by the Spirit - eternal, post-passion and at conception - are analysed with respect to the exegesis of Psalm 44 (45):6-7, Acts 2:36, John 17:5 and Luke 1:35. The development of Gregory's Christology between Contra Eunomium III and the Antirrheticus is sketched and some concluding comments are given on the enduring influence this developed Christology had in In Illud: Tunc et ispse and In Canticum canticorum. |
