  4. Twelfth International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa: Contra Eunomium III

    The Twelfth International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa will focus on his trinitarian theology through a detailed study of the third book of the Contra Eunomium (CE III). As has become customary during the past Colloquia, the main papers will offer a commentary on the work as a whole.

These offered papers can focus on any issue directly related to the writings, thought, philosophical or theological context of Gregory of Nyssa.
