Gregory of Nyssa wrote De anima et resurrectione after suffering a double bereavement. The work is a dialogue with his sister in which she consoles him over the loss of their brother Basil and her own imminent death, and exhorts him to a hope based on the Christian gospel. Echoing Plato’s dialogue Phaedo, Gregory’s text engages critically with Platonic conceptions of the immortality of the soul and post-mortem punishment. It concludes with a sophisticated defence of resurrection and – more controversially – the doctrine of universal salvation. This is the first volume of studies dedicated entirely to this ground-breaking work of early Christian philosophy and theology. Twenty-three international experts each contribute their own analysis, developed from papers presented at the 15th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa in Exeter 2022.
