Macrina was the spunky, intellectual sister of church fathers Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. She was known for loving theological debate and fervent spiritual devotion. Macrina served everyone around her, and especially her family, in her ancient world context through challenging them to live their life honestly and intelligently before God.
This blog, Macrina’s Chronicles, will obviously not be original thoughts or posts by Macrina of the second century AD. However, it will be a consortium of opinions and ideas related to current theological, spiritual, philosophical, and cultural issues today by women of kindred spirit to Macrina who have similar concerns and passions in this postmodern world.
Macrina’s brother, Gregory, once described the life lived with God as one from “beginning to beginning, where beginnings never cease.” This blog will attempt to encourage and inspire conversation and dialogue of issues related to living the Christian life today.
