The youngest of the three Cappadocian Fathers, a bishop and mystic whose subtle, philosophical theology explored the infinity of God and the soul's endless ascent toward Him. The boldest speculative thinker of the three, he wove Greek philosophy and Christian doctrine into a profound and enduring vision of the spiritual life.
