Gregory of Nazianzus, “The Theologian,” was recognized among the Cappadocian Fathers as a peculiarly vivid and quotable exponent of the doctrine of God in Trinity. A brilliant orator and accomplished poet, he placed before the Church his interpretation of the sublime mystery of the God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These five sermons, probably delivered as a series at the small chapel of the Resurrection in Constantinople, where Gregory was the bishop in charge of loyal “Nicenes,” contain Gregory’s penetrating teaching. The English translation aims to capture for the present-day reader something of the atmosphere of intellectual excitement and spiritual exhilaration experienced by his first listeners. In addition, this work contains a new translation of Gregory’s letters to Cledonius, which contain more focused reflections on the person of Jesus Christ, laying the groundwork for later Christology. Frederick Williams, professor of Greek at the Queen’s University in Belfast, translated the first oration. Lionel Wickham, formerly lecturer in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, translated the other four orations and the two letters.

The poetry of St. Gregory of Nazianzus ( ca. 330-391) has been likened to St. Augustine's "Confessions" in showing a peculiarly modern interest in the self. He writes of the joys and frustrations of his own life; he reveals his inner questioning about the purpose and value of life in the face of sin and mortality, and his ultimate faith in Christ as redeeming and reconciling all things.

This work is newly translated from the ancient Armenian and is the only extant work of St. Irenaeus other than "Against Heresies". He wrote at a time when people were drawing on elements from various religions and diverse gods (not unlike today); he encourages the reader to hold fast to Scripture and recounts the history of the work of God. St. Irenaeus had direct contact with the immediate successors of the apostles and is the most important theologian of the second century.
