Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome, October 28-30, 2021<\/h2>

While Gregory of Nyssa\u2019s relation to Origen has been subject to much discussion, there has been little attention to the direct or indirect influence of Clement of Alexandria. This colloquium aims to explore the extent to which it is legitimate to speak of an \u201cAlexandrian tradition\u201d that links these two Fathers. Some questions we would like to consider together are: Is it possible to find in Gregory a way of doing theology that originates with Clement? Is Origen\u2019s legacy a necessary mediation? What are the similarities and differences in these Fathers\u2019 appropriation of the Biblical tradition?<\/p>\n
