I appreciate Radde-Gallwitz's thorough study and close reading of these texts, presenting many of them for the first time in English. * Andrew J. Summerson, Calumet College of St. Joseph, Review of Biblical Literature * [Radde-Gallwitz] takes seriously the texts in their historical context and their individual literary and rhetorical shape, while also engaging with their explicit or implicit claims to represent a coherent, albeit not necessarily systematic, theological perspective. As such, the book is exemplary...R.-G. has written an important study of Gregory of Nyssa as a theologian. All those who want to understand the foundations of his doctrinal thought will have to consult it. * Johannes Zachhuber, Trinity College, Oxford, Journal of Ancient Christianity * valuable for all whose work focuses on Gregory ... this monograph brilliantly illustrates the deep logic of Gregory's theology that, despite his unsystematic ways, gives coherence to his overall thought ... Nyssen scholars owe Radde-Gallwitz a debt for this fine work and should look forward to the conversations that will grow out of it. * J. Warren Smith, Church History * An important achievement for the theological space in generally. The philological analyses like the historical information offered and the contextualisation of the texts, linked also with the underlining of the actual dimension of some works, are some of the strong points of the book of Andrew Radde-Gallwitz. * Astra Salvensis *
