The first volume of our new series, Fathers of the Church: Shorter Works, will be available in the summer of 2021. This series, to be printed only in paperback format, will offer English translations of treatises, homilies, poems, and letters of the Church Fathers in slim, easily affordable volumes. In this way a multitude of important writings will become accessible to scholars and students as well as the reading public. This is the first complete English translation of St. Gregory of Nyssa’s treatise On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron). It was probably written in 380-381, and is designed as both a defense and a critique of his recently deceased brother St. Basil’s better known homilies on the creation story as set out in the first chapter of Genesis. At the same time it incorporates Gregory’s own observations on the Genesis text, which reflect his desire to show the consistency between Scripture and the philosophy and natural science of his day A notable feature is Gregory’s presentation of God’s creation of the world as what has been called a “substantification” of God’s own will, creatio ex Deo rather than creatio ex nihilo. Other ideas of his seem interestingly to foreshadow those of modern science, notably his challenge to the idea that matter is a primary ontological category and his theory that the world as we know it developed through a process of “sequence” (akolouthia) from an originally simultaneous creation of everything. Gregory differs from Basil in maintaining that the “waters above the firmament” in Genesis 1 are spiritual rather than physical in nature. He uses a modified form of Aristotle’s theory of elements, together with some interesting observations on geography and meteorology, to construct a detailed and ingenious account of the “water cycle.” This description enables him to refute Basil’s notion that there needs to be an extra supply of physical water above the firmament so that the water lost from earthly seas and rivers through evaporation can be “topped up.”

PHENOMENAL LANGUAGE. Fora DISTINCTIONS, ?THE FACT, THE CONCEPTION, THE EMOTION, THK PHILOSOPHY.?GOD CAN MAKE A REVELATION TO US ONLY THROUGH OUB CONCEPTIONS. ?ALL HUMAN SPEECH PHENOMENAL.?THIS ESPECIALLY TRUE OF THE EARLIEST LANGUAGES. As actual fact, we have said, ?But here come in distinctions on which we must be allowed to dwell at some length, even at the hazard of being thought to indulge in abstract and irrelevant theorising, or in what may seem to some, unnecessary repetitions. The course taken, however, is deemed vital to the whole discussion. The analysis here attempted will give the key to all subsequent interpretations, and if well understood by the reader, will, it is hoped, make those interpretations not only easy but convincing. We commence then with four distinctions, although they may be afterwards mainly reduced to two. Matter of fact is one thing; the conception, or mind's image accompanying that fact, and which may be taken as directly representative of it, is another thing; the emotion to which it may give rise is a third; and the philosophy or science of that fact still another and a fourth thing. There might, perhaps, be made a farther distinction between the science and the philosophy ? the one having respect to the mutual relations of the phenomena by which the fact may be represented, the other its relations to the whole of being?but the above is sufficient for our presentargument. For example?the sun rises. The fact or ultimate act, which the phenomenon or appearance represents, is the same for the ordinary observer, the man of science and the poet. But the second has a philosophy of the matter to which the first and third may be strangers; the third has an emotion of which the others perhaps know little or nothing. Now both the p...
