Description
The poignant biography of Saint Macrina, by her brother, Saint Gregory of Nyssa. (The Reader)
“The use of the word "philosophy" to designate Christianity is common in the writings of the fourth century, ... It is employed in a twofold sense, of the Christian religion generally and of asceticism in particular.” (from the 2nd footnote of the narrated text.)
