Basil of Caesarea
, also called
Saint Basil the Great
, (330 -379) was the bishop of Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern-day Kayseri, Turkey). St. Basil was born into the wealthy family of Basil the Elder, a famous rhetor,and Emmelia of Caesarea. His parents were known for their piety, and his maternal grandfather was a Christian martyr, executed in the years prior to Constantine I's conversion.
The principal theological writings of Basil are his
De Spirity Sancto (On the Holy Spirit)
, a lucid and edifying appeal to Scripture and early Christian tradition (to prove the divinity of the Holy Spirit), and his
Refutation of the Apology of the Impious Eunomius
, written in 363 or 364, three books against Eunomius of Cyzicus, the chief exponent of Anomoian Arianism.
The first three books of the
Refutation
are his work; the fourth and fifth books that are usually included do not belong to Basil, or to Apollinaris of Laodicea, but probably to Didymus "the Blind" of Alexandria.
