- First published book devoted to an overview of the Christology of Gregory of Nazianzus
- Extensive use of the full range of Gregory's orations, letters, and the poetry usually overlooked in doctrinal study
- Provides Gregory's "Theology of the Word," uniting theological and rhetorical approaches to studying Gregory's thought
- Argues that Gregory's language of mixture, which was later a source of confusion and embarrassment in Christological controversies, expresses some of his own deepest held and pervasive convictions
- Demonstrates how Gregory, named "the Theologian" for speaking so well about God, is thoroughly autobiographical in speaking about himself
