Self-Portrait in Three Colors: Gregory of Nazianzus's Epistolary Autobiography Volume 6 Hardcover - 2019
by Bradley K. Storin
A seminal figure in late antique Christianity and the determination of Christian orthodoxy, Saint Gregory of Nazianzus published a collection of more than 240 letters, which have often been cast aside as readers turn to his theological orations or autobiographical poetry for insight into his life, thought, and times.
From the rear cover
"With this collection, Bradley Storin takes seriously the proposition that ancient letter collections were anything but haphazardly assembled. He demonstrates splendidly that Gregory conceived of his collected correspondence as a cohesive, uniform work and wished it to be read as such--as a powerful autobiography, easily turned to hagiography. Storin has written a wonderful book of relevance far beyond the field."--Susanna Elm, author of Sons of Hellenism, Father of the Church: Emperor Julian, Gregory of Nazianzus, and the Vision of Rome
