Bring the hardest questions about death to the Fathers.
At Macrina’s bedside, Gregory of Nyssa sets grief beside a sustained inquiry into the soul and the promised resurrection. Macrina, the dialogue’s teacher, guides the argument through human nature, the passions, death, and restoration. On the Soul and the Resurrection is an intimate work of patristic philosophy for readers who want more than a collection of consoling phrases. This edition uses William Moore’s translation.
