Cappadocian Fathers
Basil the Great (330-379)
Gregory of Nyssa/the Great (ca. 335-ca. 395)
Gregory of Nazianzus (329-389) - Forcibly ordained, introvert. Very
well-respected for
his complex sermons, offered position of Archbishop of
Constantinople, which he
turned down because it was corrupt. He then turned to the doctrine
of the Trinity.
Basil and Nyssa were brothers.
