Basil of Caesarea
His Life and Impact
Marvin Jones
Christians, whatever their tradition, need to know their forebears in the faith from the earliest generations of the Church. These holy men and women struggled to articulate the faith in a world that thought them foolish, misguided and often mad. They wrote mighty expositions of scripture, struggled to proclaim their faith and some were martyred for their efforts. Raised up by God to witness to the gospel they are ever deserving of our attention. Basil of Caesarea was one of the great figures in the fourth century who struggled to show that the Gospel proclaimed Christ to be God with us, and no creature. Marvin Jones succinctly and clearly introduces the man, his world and his faith. Marvin’s valuable book helps us to see the Christ of the gospels more clearly, and to understand how deeply God has worked in the history of the Christian community. Read and be inspired!
