Tracing the Spirit: Christology in Gregory of Nyssa’s Contra Eunomium III
While Gregory of Nyssa formulated a Spirit-based account of the unity of Christ in Antirrheticus adversus Apolinarium (c.383) I argue that he already held this view when he wrote Ad Eustathium (c.381) and hence when he wrote Contra Eunomium III (c.382). That Gregory makes no explicit reference to Ch...

| Σύνοψη: | While Gregory of Nyssa formulated a Spirit-based account of the unity of Christ in Antirrheticus adversus Apolinarium (c.383) I argue that he already held this view when he wrote Ad Eustathium (c.381) and hence when he wrote Contra Eunomium III (c.382). That Gregory makes no explicit reference to Christ’s anointing by the Spirit in Contra Eunomium III is best explained by his need to adapt his Christology to the Eunomian context where any appeal to a Spirit-based Christology would be useless and, worse, self-defeating. I propose criteria for detecting probable traces of a Spirit-based Christology in Contra Eunomium III and analyse two texts found in Parts 3 and 4 that satisfy these criteria. How we understand Gregory’s account of Christ’s unity in Contra Eunomium III therefore needs to be reframed. |
