Product Description

Much is known about Basil of Caesarea (329-379) - a Greek Bishop who resided in what is now Turkey. A thoughtful theologian, he was instrumental is the formation of the Nicene Creed and fought a growing heresy, Arianism, which had found converts even in those in high positions of state. In the face of such a threat he showed courage, wisdom and complete confidence in God--without which, the Church would not be what it is today.

Editorial Reviews

Encounter(s) Basil as a lover of the Triune God and His Church.

-- Steven A. McKinion (Assistant Professor of Theology and Patristic Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theology Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina)

Marvin’s valuable book helps us to see the Christ of the gospels more clearly, and to understand how deeply God has worked in the history of the Christian community. Read and be inspired!

-- Lewis Ayers (Professor of Catholic and Historical Theology, Department of Theology and Religion, Durham University, Durham)

I am thankful for Marvin Jones and this new work.

-- Jason G. Duesing (Provost and Professor of Historical Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri)

All of the makings of an important story that Evangelicals need to hear... Dr. Jones has done... Evangelicals a great favor in writing this lucid account.

-- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)

Introduces us not just to the subtlety and real acuity of Basil's thought but to a man of great warmth and affection... challenges us as well as instructs us.

-- Michael Ovey ((1958-2017) Principal, Oak Hill Theological College, London)
