- Summary:
- Composed by Gregory of Nazianus in the fourth century, Sermons 4, 5, 39, and 43 are remarkable for their large number of classical allusions. They reflect Gregory's determination, shared by many other Christians, to preserve the useful aspects of Greek learning for the service of the church in a world where a pagan system of education still held power.
