Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 150In this paper I want to take you on a walk through a garden. It is, to be sure, an imaginary garden; nevertheless, it bears a significance which extends beyond itself. Some of this significance concerns words and texts: for as we shall see, the garden is, amongst other things, a ‘garden of rhetoric’. The garden in question appears in the Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.[...
An Evening with Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory, Civil Rights Activist, Nutritionist, Comedian, and Author
No full textGregory, Richard Claxton “Dick” (Born, October 12, 1932, St. Louis, Mo.), African American comedian and civil rights activist whose social satire changed the way white Americans perceived African American comedians since he first performed in public. Gregory’s autobiography, Nigger, was published in 1963 prior to The assassination of President Kennedy, and became the number one best-selling book in America. Over the decades it has sold in excess of seven million copies. His choice for the title was explained in the forward, where Dick Gregory wrote a note to his mother. “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’,” he said, “you’ll know their advertising my book.” In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable. Economic losses caused in part by conflicts with his business partners led to his eviction from his home in 1992. Gregory remained active, however, and in 1996 returned to the stage in his critically acclaimed one-man show, Dick Gregory Live! The reviews of Gregory’s show compared him to the greatest stand-ups in the history of Broadway
“Judge Me Gently”: Reflections on the Religious Life of John Milton Gregory, 1822–1898
No full text John Milton Gregory is familiar to many Christian educators through his 19th-century publication, The Seven Laws of Teaching. For most readers of this important book, little is known about the author himself. This article explores the religious life and theological foundations of John Milton Gregory, who was both author of The Seven Laws of Teaching and founding president of the University of Illinois. Utilizing his spiritual diaries preserved in his daughter's biography of her father and archival sources from the University of Illinois, this essay offers a theological and spiritual understanding of this important historical figure. </jats:p

Enslaved Images: Gregory of Nyssa and the Discourse of Slavery, Mastery, and Liberation
No full textIn the context of late ancient Roman slave society, Gregory of Nyssa stands apart because of his rejection of the practice of owning slaves in his Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes. He argues that owning slaves is fundamentally immoral because it upsets the natural order of creation, where human beings are only subject to God and not each other. For Gregory, human beings are the rational image of God and are entitled to rule over creation under the supervision of God. Therefore, in the eyes of Gregory, the practice of owning of slaves is a prideful challenge to the sovereignty of God and the freedom of humanity as images of God.
While Gregory articulates a wholesale rejection of slavery in his Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes, the situation he presents in his hagiographical texts is more nuanced. In The Life of Macrina, his elder sister establishes a monastic community made up of her former slaves. Gregory’s literary depiction of Macrina illustrates a tension between Gregory’s anthropologically motivated rejection of the practice of ownings slaves, and his depiction of Macrina as a social exemplar who perpetuates aspects of the Roman slave-master relationship in her monastic community.
My central argument is that we can only understand this tension between Gregory’s rejection of slave owning practice and his idealized social model’s interface with the slave-master relationship dynamics of late ancient Roman society through a careful textual analysis of his theological anthropology, his idealized social models, and his relationship to Care of the Self as articulated by Michel Foucault.
Informed by Gregory’s rejection of the practice of owning slaves in his Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes, I take the position that theological anthropology is the focus of Gregory’s argument against the practice of owning slaves. For Gregory, humans are beyond enslavement because they are made in the image of God.
In Chapter One I examine the text of Gregory’s Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes, alongside his anthropologically oriented texts, On the Human Image of God and On the Soul and the Resurrection. I establish a detailed understanding of Gregory’s theological anthropology, the human image of God. This forms the foundation of Chapter Two’s examination of The Life of Macrina, in which Gregory’s depiction of Macrina’s formation of a monastic community is still governed by the logics of the Roman slave-master relationship. The social ideal presented in The Life of Macrina fails to create the conditions which afford all individuals the autonomy which Gregory defends in his Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes.
From here I move into a study of The Life of Moses, which Gregory uses to articulate his beliefs that the telos the human being is an infinite eschatological approximation to God. In Chapter Three, an analysis of this text helps us to understand the central tension between Gregory’s claims in his Fourth Homily on Ecclesiastes and The Life of Macrina by highlighting the ways by which the structure of the literary Macrina’s ascetic community inhibits Macrina’s former slaves from reaching that telos.
I then turn to the reception of Gregory’s writings on the practice of holy virginity in the works of Michel Foucault as Foucault theorizes Gregory as part of a transhistorical lineage of thinkers who advocate for the practice of Care of the Self. In Chapter Four, I discuss how Gregory of Nyssa and Michel Foucault’s theoretical models serve as a cautionary tale for contemporary scholars. Both thinkers do not sufficiently account for the limited conditions of agency in their systems that bar enslaved persons from taking up the practices of self-formation by their own volition. It is here that the tension between Gregory’s theology of freedom and his social context becomes clear. Although Gregory argues that all humans are inherently free, the social conditions under which his hagiographical role models achieve perfection are unattainable for enslaved persons. On the one hand, Gregory advocates that all humans, as images of God, are meant to be free and able to shape their lives in relation to God. On the other hand, Gregory is bound by the slave-owning logics of his time and does not articulate social ideals that escape the model of the Roman slave-master relationship
