SOLANO-PINZON, Orlando. Gregory of Nyssa and the Exercise of Inculturation of Theology. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2017, vol.67, n.184, pp.509-532. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx67-184.gneit.

This article seeks to continue the research on the exercise of inculturation of Theology on the theological work of Gregory of Nyssa in his text De Vita Moysis. It attempts to point out how this author carried out the dialogue with the culture of his time and his contribution in the effort to make intelligible the Christian faith. Because of the huge amount of cultural elements involved in his work, the myth of the cavern is given as an example and a reference.

Keywords : Patristic; Cappadocian Fathers; Myth of the Cave; Gregory of Nyssa; Inculturation of Theology.
