Write a paper comparing and contrasting the relationship between Christology and Soteriology in Athanasius On the Incarnation and Gregory of Nazianzus Theological Orations and Letters to Cledonius. The paper should be single spaced, times new roman, with 12pt font. It should also include parenthetical citations. (e.g. Inc. 1 or Or. 27.1 or Ep. 101.1).
On this page you will be reading Gregory Nazianzen’s five theological orations. I have included analytical lecture videos which you can watch alongside the readings for additional analysis and explanation.
Important Questions:
How does Gregory reconcile Catholic Trinitarian theology with monotheism, especially in its classical theistic sense?
Who are Gregory’s opponents and interlocutors?
Can human language be used to describe God (theology)? To what extent?
What role does mixture/mingling/blending have in Gregory’s Christology?
What is the role of Jesus in human salvation/deification?
How/why can Catholics say that Jesus is God?
How/why can Catholics say the Holy Spirit is God?
How does Scripture influence Gregory’s argument?
What are Gregory’s criticisms of Eunomius’ argument?
