ΤΗΕ ANTHROPOLOGY OF SAINT GREGORY OF NYSSA HOLDS AN EMINENT PLACE IN HIS THEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF SERIOUS ISSUES CONCERNING THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE FAITHFUL. THESE ISSUES HAD BEEN REJECTED DURING THE PERIOD OF CONFRONTATIONS BETWEEN TRADITIONAL ORTHODOXY AND HAERETICAL PROVOCATION OF ARIANISM. THE QUESTION OF THE THEOLOGICAL APPROACH OF DEATH, WITH Α SYSTEMATIC INTERPOSITION IN THE WHOLE PLAN OF THE DIVINE ECONOMY BEGINNING WITH THE CREATION OF THE WORLD UNTIL THE ESCHATA (LAST THINGS), WAS DEALT WITH GREAT FREQUENCY AND DENSITY IN THE THEOLOGICAL PROBLEMATIC OF THE AUTHOR'S WORKS. SAINT GREGORY OF NYSSA OFFERS A CONSTITUTIVE TEACHING THAT HE COMBINES WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL SENSITIVITY THE PHILOSOPHICAL PRESUPPOSITIONS IN A CHRISTOCENTRIC FUNCTION OF THEOLOGY. WITH THE CLEAR DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CREATED AND UNCREATED, THE FOUNDATION FOR PATRISTIC TRADITION, WHICH IS CONNECTED WITH THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION OF THE SON AND LOGOS (WORD) OF GOD, DEATH IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE LOGOS (REASON) OF DIVINE CREATION, IN THE LOGOS OF THE FALL OF MAN, IN THE LOGO OF THE DIVINE ECONOMY OF CHRIST, IN THE LOGOS OF THE GHURCH AND IN THE LOGO OF ESCHATA, WHICH CONSTITUTE THE BASIC CHAPTERS OF THE USE OF MATERIAL OF THE PRESENT STUDY.
