Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and the Transformation of Divine Simplicity - Radde-Gallwitz, Andrew (Assistant Professor of Theology, Loyola University, Chicago)

Divine simplicity is the idea that, as the ultimate principle of the universe, God must be a non-composite unity not made up of parts or diverse attributes. Radde-Gallwitz explores how this idea was appropriated by early Christian theologians from non-Christian philosophy with particular reference to Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa.
