Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, c. 394

There are at least two or three Gregorys and this one is a man after my own heart - scholarly, but bad at administration. He was very interested in Greek philosophy and used its ideas but ultimately argued that Christian philosophy was superior. One of his arguments was that since God is infinite he must be unknowable (I probably have got that wrong or oversimplified).

Like our Vicar's sermon today, in which he likened the resurrection to his computer. He has no idea how it works, but it does, and he gets the benefit.
