Page "Gregory of Nyssa" Paragraph 2

Gregory lacked the administrative ability of his brother Basil, or the contemporary influence of Gregory of Nazianzus, but was an erudite theologian who made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity and the Nicene creed.

Gregory's philosophical writings were influenced by Origen, and he is generally considered to have believed in universal salvation.

Since the mid-twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in interest in Gregory's works from the academic community, which has resulted in challenges to many traditional interpretations of his theology.
