Embodiment and Virtue in Gregory of Nyssa - Boersma, Hans (J. I. Packer Professor of Theology, J. I. Packer Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada)

Embodiment in the theology of Gregory of Nyssa is a much-debated topic. Hans Boersma argues that this-worldly realities of time and space, which include embodiment, are not the focus of Gregory's theology. Instead, Boersma suggests, the key to Gregory's theology is anagogy-going upward in order to participate in the life of God.
