Abstract
"Was it a mistake to be merciful?" : Christology in Grégoire de Nazianze's second dogmatic poem
In a profoundly dense poem (as regards both style and content), Grégoire the theologist takes up the two main aspects of his christology : the eternal fathering of the Son and the soterological aspect of the Son's mission. Such a poem is obviously primarily addressed to the eunomians, a radical branch of Arianism. The theological argumentation is supported by the rythm and images suitable to poetry, which grants this work beauty and power.
