On the Soul and the Resurrection
by Saint Gregory of Nyssa
part 10
read by Maria Lectrix

After the death of his brother, Saint Basil the Great, and after being unable to visit his eldest sister Saint Macrina and his last surviving brother for eight long years, Saint Gregory of Nyssa finally arrived for a visit and found his formidable sister on her deathbed. In an attempt to cheer him up, Saint Macrina held a Socratic dialogue with him. He told about this in her biography, but had no space to include it. In this separate work, he does. Of course, both the vagaries of memory and the points Saint Gregory wanted to make are bound to affect the strict historical accuracy of such a dialogue. But it remains that this is a book on the teachings of a Mother of the early Church. Also, this book defends the existence of the soul and eternal life against the views of materialist skeptics of Saint Macrina's day -- not all that different from those of some folks today.
