Gregory of Nyssa: Contra Eunomium III. An English Translation with Commentary and Supporting Studies
Proceedings of the 12th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Leuven, 14-17 September 2010)
Series: - Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 124
Gregory of Nyssa's Contra Eunomium, one of the major books on trinitarian theology of the 4th century, documents the exchange between Eunomius and the Cappadocian Father in the last episode of the so-called "Arian Crisis". The present volume is devoted to the third and last book of Contra Eunomium. It offers a fresh English translation with a running commentary in the form of ten studies by first-rank specialists. Seventeen shorter papers enlighten various aspects of Contra Eunomium and other writings of the same author. The contributions will be of interest for scholars of historical and systematical theology, philosophy, spirituality, rhetoric and the history of the Early Church.
Johan Leemans (Ph.D. Theology (2001), KU Leuven) is Professor of Christianity in Late Antiquity at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of the same university. He publishes on sermons, martyrdom, the Cappadocian Fathers, patristic exegesis.
Matthieu Cassin, alumnus of the ENS, PhD in Greek studies (University Paris Sorbonne, 2009), is currently researcher at the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes (CNRS, Paris). He has recently published Lâécriture de la controverse chez Grégoire de Nysse. Polémique littéraire et exégèse dans le Contre Eunomee (2012).

"The completion of this set and the conclusion now of the Lexicon Gregorianum mean that scholars of Gregory are well placed to make further strides in research on this Father [...] With [...] contributors of high calibre we are in safe hands. Editors and publishers deserve our praise for producing this handsome volume, which is well provided with bibliographies and a helpful Index locorum." â J.K. Elliott, in: Novum Testamentum 58 (2016)
"This handsomely produced volume [...] contains a wonderful amount of learning, testimony to the research [...]. The indefatigable Stuart Hall [is] faithful translator of an author he manages to make as readable as is ever likely to be the case. An excellent introduction by Matthieu Cassin followed by translation and detailed commentary on the text precede seventeen shorter supplementary papers, all of which [...] worth including. [...] Making [these valuable insights] known with the help of this fine translation and commentary is important and worth the effort." â Lionel Wickham, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History 66 (October 2015)

Bibliography
Academic readership in Patristics and History of Theology will be interested in these studies on a major text of Trinitarian Theology; the English translation should be useful for a larger audience too.
