Summary
"Why is it that when we speak of three human subjects, we speak of a unique nature, but we say there are 'three men', while when we speak of the Trinity, we speak again of a unique nature, but we say that they are 'one God'? Gregory of Nyssa gives the answer in his Ad ablabium, [a] work that lately has been the focus of a discussion about the interpretation of Gregory's thought and the social analogy of the Trinity."--Publisher
