Gregory on Gregory: Catechetical Oration 38

Andrew raDDe-gallwitz, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, USA

aBstract

In Catechetical Oration 38, Gregory of Nyssa refers to other works he has written on

the disputed topics of Christian faith. Most of the scholarly discussion of the passage

has focused on whether the passage can be used to date the Catechetical Oration.

I propose to read it instead for what it says about Gregory’s self-understanding as a

writer of dogmatic texts. Gregory’s way of describing himself here matches what he says

about other authors in various places in his corpus. Gregory emerges as a self-conscious

literary stylist, emphasizing his own rigor and contentious polemical engagement with

adversaries to the proper understanding of the baptismal creed.

Gregory of Nyssa can be an elusive author. He published nothing like Augus-

tine’s Retractationes; his autobiographical references are highly selective;

compared to Basil or Gregory of Nazianzus, his corpus of letters is slender;

as far as we know, upon his death, no panegyrist took Gregory’s virtue and

erudition for his theme, as he and Nazianzen had done for Basil; moreover, the

fifth-century historians give no attention to the details of his life. As a result,

two important scholarly questions – knowing when he wrote his surviving

writings and what he thought of them – have proven difficult to answer. When

it comes specifically to the various works we have by Gregory on disputed

Trinitarian and Christological issues, certain facts can be established, especially

surrounding the composition of the three books Against Eunomius and the

Refutation of Eunomius’ “Confession”. But the context for many other works

remains murky.¹

1

In addition to important passages in other works, the works that are principally devoted to

Trinitarian and Christological topics are: To Eustathius On the Holy Trinity, To the Greeks based

on Common Notions, To Ablabius On Not Thinking We Say “Three Gods”, To Simplicius On the

Faith, On the Holy Spirit Against the Macedonians, To Theophilus Against the Apollinarians,

Antirrheticus Against Apollinarius, Homily On the Day of Lights, Homily on the Holy Pascha,

Homily on the Three Day Interval, Homily on the Holy and Saving Pascha, Homily on the Holy

Resurrection of the Lord, Homily on the Ascension of Christ, On the Deity Against Evagrius,

Against Eunomius 1-3, Refutation of Eunomius’ “Confession”, Letters3, 4, 5, 24 (with important

passages in other letters), Homily on the Deity of the Son and the Holy Spirit, Homily on Pentecost,

On the passage: Then the Son too … (1Cor. 15:28), and the Catechetical Oration.

With respect to the anti-Eunomian works, we fortunately have some com-

mentary from Gregory himself. Matthieu Cassin’s important recent study has

urged scholars to take account of three letters as crucial ‘paratexte’ for reading

Against Eunomius.²Gregory’s prefatory letter to Peter and Peter’s reply, as

well as a letter to disciples of an unnamed sophist (perhaps Libanius) with

which Gregory sent the first book to the great orator, tell us a great deal about

how he understood the work and the kind of elite, educated readership he hoped

to cultivate for it. In this article, I argue that one chapter of Gregory’s Cate-

chetical Oration is best read similarly as a ‘paratexte’ for reading Gregory’s

controversial writings on Christian doctrine generally.

The crucial details for Gregory’s self-characterization come in the first three

sentences of Catechetical Oration 38:

In what we have said [i.e. up to this point in Catechetical Oration], I think we have not

overlooked any of the questions about the mystery except the discourse about the faith,

which we will set forth briefly in the present treatise. For those who are looking for the

fuller discourse, we have already set it forth in other works, rigorously unfolding the

discourse with all possible seriousness. In those works, we both engaged with our

adversaries in a controversial manner and investigated for ourselves the questions posed

to us. But in the present discourse, we have deemed it suitable to say only as much

about the faith as is encompassed by the Gospel’s statement that the one who is born

in the spiritual rebirth knows from whom he is born and what kind of living creature

comes into being. For only this kind of birth has it in its power that one becomes what-

ever one chooses.³

Let us first briefly set the passage’s context within the Catechetical Oration.

This is chapter 38 of 40. The preceding chapters deal, as Gregory says here,

with ‘questions about the mystery’. The work aims at providing a guide for

‘those who preside over the mystery’ in their task as catechists.⁴Gregory likens

catechesis to ‘therapy’: just as a physician adapts the healing to the disease, so

too must catechists start from catechumens’ existing beliefs, showing that what

is best in their own belief system implies Christian belief or at least is conso-

nant with it.⁵On this basis, he seeks first to show that both Greek and Jewish

belief already includes or implies not simply exclusive belief in a single God,

but also a ‘distinction of hypostases’.⁶Then he turns to the creation and fall of

humanity and the economy of salvation, addressing Greek objections to the

incarnation. Throughout this section, his method is to show how Greek intuitions

about God, morality, death, and so on find their logical terminus in the Christian

doctrine of incarnation. He then turns to Eucharist and baptism immediately

before our passage.

In chapter 38, Gregory refers to a ‘discourse about the faith’ that appears in

compressed form within Catechetical Oration. ‘The faith’ names the profession

one makes at baptism. The treatment of the faith appears in chapter 39, where

Gregory seeks to show that only properly Trinitarian faith – that is, belief in

the Father together with the uncreated Son and Spirit – secures the ‘birth from

above’ promised in Christian baptism. The rather brief treatment of the topic

in chapter 39 in some ways echoes arguments made elsewhere in his corpus.

He alludes to Matth. 28:19, a key verse that Gregory treats throughout his

Trinitarian writings as Jesus’ own creed. He provides a brief exegesis coordi-

nating biblical passages in which the predicate of ‘giving life’ is applied to all

three hypostases in scripture. Clearly, from his opening remarks in chapter 38

and his arguments in chapter 39, Gregory means for his readers to look for

parallel works, even if in chapter 39 he compresses the ‘discourse about the

faith’ and tailors it to match the Catechetical Oration’s ‘therapeutic’ purpose.

‘Other works’

Difficulties arise, however, with this project of correlating the Catechetical

Oration with the unnamed ‘other works’. The basic problem is that Gregory’s

hints are insufficient to determine precisely which works he has in mind. It is

commonly assumed that Gregory must be referring to Against Eunomius. This

association is very likely, especially given parallels between his description

here and in Cassin’s para-texts. However, it has not been universally accepted.

In particular, Raymond Winling, the editor of the Catechetical Oration for

Sources Chrétiennes, posited on thematic grounds that the Catechetical Oration

must have been written by a younger Gregory, someone more enamored of the

powers of reasoning for unlocking divine mysteries than the seasoned anti-

Eunomian polemicist would allow.⁷While Winling’s reasoning relies on an

unconvincing portrait of Gregory’s intellectual development, his doubts serve

as a reminder that Gregory is not explicit about identifying the ‘other works’,

and so we must approach the question carefully.

Based solely on what he says in chapter 38 and the arguments he develops

in chapter 39, Gregory could be referring to any of the following: Letter 5,

Letter 24, To Eustathius On the Holy Trinity, On the Holy Spirit Against the

Macedonians, To Ablabius, To Simplicius On the Faith, Against Eunomius 1-3,

The Refutation of Eunomius’ “Confession”, On the Deity of the Son and the

Holy Spirit, To Peter, To the Greeks, and possibly even the Antirrheticus against

Apollinarius. Moreover the scope of the words ‘other works’ is vague: he could

be referring to all of these works, to some of them, or to none of them (if he is

referring to otherwise unknown works). Perhaps there are ways of eliminating

some of these titles as candidates. Joseph Barbel proposed a connection between

chapter 38 and Letter 5, and on thematic grounds this is correct.⁸However,

Gregory’s claim that his treatment in the ‘other works’ is lengthy seems incom-

patible with Letter 5, which is an intentionally brief creedal statement. The

remaining works just listed are longer than Letter 5 (though Letter 24 and To

Simplicius are also relatively brief). Perhaps some others can be eliminated on

thematic grounds. Given the Trinitarian and baptismal focus of these chapters

in the Catechetical Oration, the Antirrheticus against Apollinariusdoes not

seem to be in view here. But we are still left with several works. Some scholars

have posited a distinction within Gregory’s corpus between works such as To

Eustathius with private addressees and those like Against Eunomius intended

for a public audience; in line with this distinction, when Gregory sends his

readers to available works he could only be referring to the open works.⁹Along

this line of interpretation, the three books Against Eunomius and the imperially-

commissioned Refutation of Eunomius’ “Confession” seem most likely to be

the ‘other works’ (not to mention the fact that they are lengthy works that

engage opponents, as Gregory says here). The circumstances in which Gregory

produced Against Eunomius 1 in particular suggest a wide audience: he first

read it to a group of luminaries including Gregory of Nazianzus and Jerome

and sent part of it to students of rhetoric and separately as a whole to his own

brother Peter who would become bishop of Sebasteia.¹⁰We should not, how-

ever, rule out a wide circulation of the so-called Opera dogmatica minora, even

for works with individual addressees such as To Eustathius and To Ablabius.

Such private publication was common in antiquity and did not imply an author’s

intention to limit a work’s circulation.¹¹Both formally and thematically, those

privately-addressed works match Gregory’s description here. In sum, we cannot

rule out the possibility that Gregory had those shorter works in mind in addition

to the anti-Eunomian works or perhaps even instead of the anti-Eunomian

works.

There is a further ambiguity in the sentence about the ‘other works’. When

Gregory says that in those works, he both engaged with adversaries and inves-

tigated problems for himself, he could be read in two ways. In the first way,

he is saying that the other works come in two sets: in some of them, he engaged

polemically with adversaries, while in others he investigated topics proposed

for him.¹²If such a distinction between controversial and non-controversial

works is meant, one could assign Against Eunomius to the first set and works

like To Ablabius, To Peter (assuming it was written by Gregory), and To the

Greeks to the latter set. According to the other way of reading the sentence, he

is referring to works in which he both engaged adversaries and examined

proposed topics independently.¹³One could argue that Gregory maintains

such a double focus in many of the works just listed. Perhaps the ambiguity

is unresolvable, and in any event, it is not necessary to resolve it here.

The question of which works Gregory has in mind is logically distinct from

two other questions: (1) what does Catechetical Oration 38 tell us about the

work’s date or at least its place within a relative chronology of Gregory’s

works? (2) What does this chapter tell us about the nature of those works – that

is, what sort of commentary does Gregory offer on his own writings? Answer-

ing the chronological question requires definitively identifying the other works,

whereas answering the other question about Gregory’s self-conception does

not. Unfortunately, the scholarly discussion on this passage has focused exclu-

sively on the question of chronology.¹⁴I hope that my argument thus far has

cast doubt on whether the chronological usage of the chapter is a helpful

approach. If the identification of the ‘other works’ is uncertain, and if some of

the potential candidates are themselves impossible to date with certainty, then

any chronological claim based solely on this passage must be based on partial

evidence or circular thinking or both. All we can say is that Gregory was a

seasoned writer of available doctrinal works when he wrote this chapter; while

this very likely points to a time after he wrote Against Eunomius, we cannot

rule out the idea that he has other works in mind also. Besides the reference in

chapter 38, there are additional, weighty considerations when it comes to the

question of dating the Catechetical Oration, which are not in focus in this

study, though I note that all of them point to the conventional dating in the

mid-to-late 380’s, that is, after Against Eunomius.¹⁵But chapter 38 by itself

does not clinch the argument. The problem, however, with focusing on chro-

nology is not simply the circular or conjectural nature of the arguments, but

more importantly that the chronological approach has suppressed an attentive

reading of the passage’s language itself in light of Gregory’s use of similar

language elsewhere.

There are three phrases here that have almost a technical sense in Gregory’s

corpus; in the following, we will use parallel occurrences across Gregory’s

corpus to flesh out the sense of these key terms in Gregory’s self-portrait.

‘The discourse about the faith’

In chapter 38, Gregory distinguishes between ‘the questions about the mys-

tery’ and ‘the discourse about the faith’. The two are distinct, though related:

the discourse about the faith is one part of the questions about the mystery.

‘Mystery’ appears 24 times in the Catechetical Oration; in chapter 38, it refers

specifically to baptism. ‘The faith’, as used in chapters 38 and 39, means the

profession of faith at baptism, especially as embodied in Jesus’ words in Matth.

28:19.¹⁶As for the logos (discourse, speech, account, teaching) that addresses

this creed, Gregory refers to it in the singular, though he notes that it appears

in multiple works (ἐν ἑτέροις πόνοις) as well as in the present treatise (ἐπὶ

τῆς παρούσης … πραγματείας). The logos therefore is not to be identified

with any treatise or work. Gregory portrays himself as adapting the same logos

to various occasions or purposes in his various works. The self-same speech

can be expanded, as in the other works mentioned here, or compressed, as in

Catechetical Oration 39.

To get at what this logos is, we can first ask how it relates to the pistis?

In our paragraph, the two terms are connected with prepositional phrases – first

kata with accusative, then peri with genitive. If we look at similar phrases

throughout Gregory’s works, we see that typically the terms are bonded via a

simple genitive, as in the phrase ὁ τῆς πίστεως λόγος. For instance, Gregory’s

On the Holy Spirit Against the Macedonians begins with these sentences:

When it comes to those whose words are empty, it is perhaps best not to give any

answer at all. Solomon’s wise instruction seems to lead in this direction, when he bids

15

See the full, though somewhat inconclusive, discussion in R. Kees, Die Lehre (1995), 200-7.

Barbel was correct on this point: Gregor von Nyssa, Die grosse katechetische Rede (Oratio

chischen Literatur, Band 1 (1971), 209 n. 343.

us ‘not to answer a fool according to his folly’ [Prov. 26:4]. But there is a danger that,

through our silence, falsehood will overpower the truth and when this rotting gangrene

of heresy has spread itself widely against the truth, it will completely wreck the healthy

teaching of the faith (τὸν ὑγιαίνοντα τῆς πίστεως λόγον).¹⁷

Gregory does not specify exactly what the logos is; it could be a creed-like

summary or his own broader discourse about doctrinal matters. After detailing

the Pneumatomachian charges against his doctrine, Gregory pivots to his

defense with a rhetorical question that is common in his works: ‘What, then,

is our logos?’¹⁸Presumably what follows contains ‘the healthy teaching of the

faith’, though it is unclear whether this logos is restricted to the short summary

of Trinitarian principles that immediately follows the rhetorical question or is

Gregory’s label for the entire account.

Similar ambiguity appears in other works. In To Eustathius On the Holy

Trinity, Gregory first offers a narrative of accusations against him; he then

pivots to his own counter-speech with this: ‘What then is our logos? When the

Lord handed over the saving faith to those being trained in the logos, he con-

nected the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son’.¹⁹Note that logos occurs

twice here. The first instance names Gregory’s own reply to the accusations

leveled against him. As in On the Holy Spirit Against the Macedonian,sthe

logos could refer to the initial summary statement of his case or it could refer

to the entire discourse that follows. The second occurrence of logos in the

quoted passage, however, refers to Jesus’ own teaching to his disciples. Jesus’

logos is identical with the contents of Matth. 28:19; it is ‘the saving faith’.

Gregory argues that the connective particle between the names in this formula

signifies a real connection linking the hypostases. That argument – an interpre-

tation of the risen Lord’s own logos – is Gregory’s logos.

In To Ablabius, Gregory says: ‘But if our logos is shown to be not quite up

to the task, we shall forever guard the tradition which we received from the

fathers firm and unmoved, and ask of the Lord for the logos that is the faith’s

advocate (τὸν δὲ συνήγορον τῆς πίστεως λόγον)’.²⁰Once again there are two

logoi: from the context, the first refers to the entire argument of the work as a

response to the dilemma Ablabius has proposed, namely that if one confesses

the divinity of the Son and Spirit along with the Father, one thereby proclaims

three gods, whereas if one denies their divinity, one commits impiety. Gregory’s

response to the dilemma represents his best effort at a difficult problem.²¹Even

if this account fails, he says that he will maintain the baptismal tradition.

In such a scenario, he envisions a second logos, one that would successfully

defend this baptismal faith. This logos would be a divine gift.²²

Examples of similar expressions in Gregory’s works could be multiplied.

In the homily In diem luminum, Gregory makes a brief Trinitarian digression,

before recalling himself to the festal topic with this remark: ‘Now that’s enough

on [such] examples. For our current goal is not to restore the logos of the faith,

so let us return to the present occasion and the topic set before us...’²³Here it

seems to mean the correct ‘teaching’ of the faith. Gregory tags the restoration

of this logos as a potential subject of writings, even if it is not the subject of that

particular homily. Similar expressions appear in Against Eunomius.²⁴In sum,

then, while the pairing of logos with pistis is relatively common across Gregory’s

doctrinal writings, the logos in question, however, alternates between the bap-

tismal profession itself and the argument offered in its defense. Accordingly,

it can be something of Gregory’s own composition or something he has inher-

ited. Despite the ambiguity, we have uncovered a commonplace in his self-

characterization.

‘Rigorously’

Returning to Catechetical Oration 38, Gregory says that his other works

contain the same logos as does the following chapter, although in those works

the speech is given a lengthier unfolding. It is not only that those ‘other works’

are longer, however, but that in them the discourse is unfolded ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ.

The exact phrase used here appears only one other time in Gregory’s corpus.

In the 7^thHomily on the Song of Songs, in the midst of a complicated analogy,

Gregory says that a function of the eyes is ‘to discern ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ the lily from

the thorn and to prefer the one that is saving while rejecting the one that causes

harm’.²⁵The idea of knowing discrimination is crucial for the sense of ἐν

ἀκριβείᾳ here, as it is for the equivalent expression δι’ ἀκριβείας, a phrase

which occurs 91 times in Gregory’s works. Take the following example from

Gregory’s work On the Dead. It is the beginning of a scripted speech in which

Gregory on Gregory: Catechetical Oration 38

‘our mind’ addresses humanity and calls us to self-knowledge. Mind bids

humanity to remember Paul:

O human being – everyone who partakes of the nature, ‘attend to yourself and know

yourself!’ in keeping with Moses’ commandment, and recognize what precisely (ἀκρι-

βῶς) who you are, distinguishing in your reasoning what you truly are and what is

[merely] observed in connection with you ... Learn from blessed Paul who examined

the nature rigorously (παρὰ τοῦ μεγάλου Παύλου τοῦ δι’ ἀκριβείας ἐπεσκεμμένου

τὴν φύσιν), who says that there is one human being external to ourselves and another

internal.²⁶

Paul’s examination was done δι’ ἀκριβείας, which means that it drew the

appropriate distinction. Gregory applies the same verb to Paul’s rigorous inves-

tigation that he uses for his own investigative works in Catechetical Oration 38.

Note Gregory’s citation of unnamed experts in the Antirrheticus against Apol-

linarius: ‘Those who rigorously (δι’ ἀκριβείας) distinguish realities say that

opposite names retreat from being present with one another – for example, life

with death, and conversely, death with life’. The combination of linguistic

expertise and the drawing of distinctions marks their work as being done δι’

ἀκριβείας. Referring to linguistic experts in Against Eunomius 2, Gregory says

he has learned ‘from those who use the expression [namely, ἀγάλλειν, to glorify]

correctly and who are thoroughly trained in the usage of words (δι’ἀκριβείας

τῶν ὀνομάτων τὴν χρῆσιν πεπαιδευμένων)...’²⁷The same phrase is used for

28

medical experts in On the Making of Humanit.y The phrase δι’ ἀκριβείας

often has the added sense of describing or examining something ‘in detail’ or

‘one by one’ as opposed to in an overview or in a summary fashion, including

in its earlier appearances in the Catechetical Oration.²⁹So, when Gregory

describes his own works as being done ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ, he is portraying them as

containing precise, detailed distinctions of the kind drawn by an expert. The

notion that Gregory’s doctrinal works contained such distinctions should not

surprise us; recall the striking claim in To the Greeksthat the distinction of

ousia and hypostasis accords with ‘the strict canon of logical science’ – that is,

an expert’s viewpoint – rather than with ordinary (mis)usage.³⁰

‘In a controversial manner’

Gregory says that in the ‘other works’ he not only examined topics on his

own but also engaged his opponents ἀγωνιστικῶς.³¹Such agonistic language

is prominent also in the three letters cited by Cassin as ‘paratexte’ for Against

Eunomius.³²As noted above, it could be that he is referring to two distinct sets

of works: one controversial, the other investigative. If that is the case, then the

study of ἀγωνιστικῶς in this section applies only to the controversial works.

Our aim here is to determine how Gregory elsewhere uses this concept as a

characterization of a certain kind of writing. Fortunately, Gregory describes

other authors and himself with similar language elsewhere.

For instance, note this passage from In illud: Tunc et ipse filius:

What, then, is our account? Perhaps one might be able to perceive the thought better

through the context of what is written in this part [that is, in 1Cor. 15:28]. For since

[Paul] included a contentious argument with the Corinthians (ἀγωνιστικὸν πρὸς τοὺς

Κορινθίους ἐνεστήσατο λόγον), who accepted faith in the Lord but considered the

dogma about the resurrection of humans to be a fable, saying, ‘how are the dead raised

up and with what sort of body do they come [1Cor. 15:35]…?’³³

For Gregory, Paul’s argument is ἀγωνιστικόν in that it juxtaposes an inter-

locutor’s objection with his own persuasive counter-arguments. Gregory is so

enamored of the practice that he expands Paul’s imagined objection with words

taken from his own On the Making of Humanity.³⁴

Note too how Gregory describes Basil’s Hexaemeron in his Apologia in

Hexaemeron. According to Gregory, Basil wrote Moses’ doctrines in a fully-

developed (διηπλωμένον) form.³⁵Incidentally, this root verb is the same one

Gregory uses in Catechetical Oration to denote his own expansion in the ‘other

works’ of the logos on the faith. In Basil’s defense, Gregory claims that when

Basil delivered his homilies on the six days, ‘he did not insert a contentious

argument’.³⁶This omission was due to Basil’s unprofessional audience and his

For the martial origins of Gregory’s language, see Demosthenes’ Third Philippic (Oration IX).51,

engagement with the enemy (συμπλακέντας διαγωνίζεσθαι). Demosthenes I: Orations I-XVII, XX,

work’s skopos.³⁷‘It was an account of the simpler exposition of the words, with

the aim of setting forth an account that is useful to an uneducated audience’³⁸

– though Basil also mixed in various teachings from secular philosophy for

easier comprehension and enjoyment. Gregory complains that his brother’s

critics have ignored his skopos. Gregory differentiates himself methodologi-

cally. He states that his Apologia in Hexaemeronis meant for readers, not

hearers.³⁹He also says that unlike Basil he has ‘engaged with objections set

before us’⁴⁰– the same verb he uses in Catechetical Oration 38.

Toward the outset of the work On Infants Who Have Died Prematurel,y

Gregory distinguishes the method he will avoid in this work from that which

he will employ: ‘I maintain, moreover, that it is not right to become entangled

right away confronting objections in a manner that it is rhetorical and combat-

ive (ῥητορικῶς τε καὶ ἀγωνιστικῶς εὐθὺς κατὰ στόμα πρὸς τὰς ἀντιθέσεις

συμπλέκεσθαι). Rather, having first established a certain order for the treatise,

one should in a logical sequence carry out the examination of the topic’.⁴¹

By contrast, in Against Eunomius 2, in the context of an extended metaphor

likening the works against Eunomius to David’s battle against Goliath, Gregory

says that ‘we have arranged the treatise against our enemies expertly and con-

tentiously’ (ἐμπείρως καὶ ἀγωνιστικῶς).⁴²

When Gregory says that he engaged ἀγωνιστικῶς, the sense is not simply

that the works are polemical. He means also that he (like Paul) included a

representation in oratio recta of the opponent’s viewpoint – the familiar ‘he

says’ or ‘they say’ statements. The adversary’s objections appear in the work.

Such appearances can occur either through direct citation or through scripted

speech – what modern scholarship has labelled the ‘diatribe’.⁴³In Catechetical

Oration 38, Gregory cites such representations of verbal conflict as a charac-

teristic feature of his doctrinal works – or at least of one set of them.⁴⁴

Since Gregory includes a compressed version of that speech in Catechetical Oration with-

out the opponents’ voice, it would seem that a qualification is needed. Speaking agōnistikōs was

necessary in the case of extended works, but not in the case of brief accounts. This distinction

helps to account for little works like epp. 5 and 24, which include the creedal statements and

proofs that we expect in the discourse about the faith, but lack the opponents’ direct voice.

314

a. raDDe-gallwitz

Naturally, this feature most closely matches Against Eunomius, the Refuta-

tion of Eunomius’s “Confession”, and the Antirrheticus Against Apollinarius:

works in which Gregory cites texts by the opponent in order to refute them.

Yet, his claims about Paul and about his own Apologia in Hexaemeron suggest

that the representation of the opponent’s voice need not derive from any written

text. One could more broadly view the description of agonistic engagement as

applying to works like To Eustathius On the Holy Trinityand On the Holy

Spirit against the Macedonians, where adversaries’ objections are fleshed out

in Gregory’s own language. The description of the ‘other works’ as agonistic

is therefore less helpful as an identification of which works he has in mind and

more useful as a claim about how he understood his project of writing.

Conclusions

Three conclusions can be drawn. First, while our paragraph from Catecheti-

cal Oration offers no definitive evidence on the chronology of Gregory’s

works, it contains many elements of Gregory’s self-conception as a writer, a

point which can be seen by viewing it in the light of Gregory’s corpus gener-

ally. What we see is that he uses similar language to describe himself as he

uses for describing other authors. Second, if his characterization here accurately

describes his working method, then when Gregory wrote his doctrinal works,

he did so according to a twofold pattern characterized by both representation

of an opponent and precise investigation into a proposed topic. Third, in our

paragraph we see a sense of Gregory’s own expertise – a claim that his work

as an author is in some sense in line with that of experts in the learned arts and

with the paradigmatic biblical authors such as Paul. The works Gregory refers

to in Catechetical Oration 38 are defined as a set by their topic: they contain

‘the discourse about the faith’. But when Gregory summarizes them, he ges-

tures not to their theological contents, but to their literary form. Accordingly,

the study of Gregory’s doctrinal works should be attentive to the literary fea-

tures he outlines here as well as their theological argumentation. In Cassin’s

study of Ep. 15, he notes that for Gregory, even the doctrinal parts of Against

Eunomius are envisioned ‘sous l’angle littéraire’.⁴⁵The point applies equally

well to Gregory’s self-characterization in Catechetical Oration 38.
