[[image:Gregorynyssa.jpg|right|thumb|St. Gregory of Nyssa, one of the [[Cappadocian Fathers]].]]Our father among the saints '''Gregory of Nyssa''' (''ca.'' A.D. 335 – after 384) was [[bishop]] of Nyssa and a prominent [[theologian]] of the fourth century. He was the younger brother of [[Basil the Great]] and friend of [[Gregory the Theologian]]. Gregory's influence on Church doctrine has remained important, although some have accused this theology of containing an [[Origen|Origenist]] influence. He is commemorated on [[January 10]].
==Life==
For the rest of his life, Gregory continued to attend church councils, discuss doctrinal matters, and combat various heresies.
He reached old age and finally reposed in the Lord near the end of the fourth century.
Gregory's influence on Church doctrine has remained important, and while influenced by the work of [[Origen]] (who was eventually condemned by the Church centuries after his death), his writings are prominent among the early Church Fathers.
