Basil, St, ‘the Great’ (
c.330–79 [or possibly slightly earlier]), one of the three
Cappadocian Fathers. The brother of St
Gregory of Nyssa, he settled as a hermit near Neocaesarea in 358; he left his retirement only when called upon by his bishop to defend orthodoxy against the
Arian Emp. Valens. In 370 he became Bp. of Caesarea in Cappadocia. This office involved him in controversies with the extreme Arian party led by
Eunomius, as well as with the
Pneumatomachi, who denied the Divinity of the Holy Spirit.
His writings include a large collection of letters, a treatise ‘On the Holy Spirit’, and three ‘Books against Eunomius’. With St
Gregory of Nazianzus he compiled the ‘
Philocalia’. He tried to reconcile the
Semiarians to the formula of
Nicaea and to show that their term
Homoiousios (‘like in substance [to the Father]’) had the same implications as the Nicene
Homoousios (‘of one substance’). The virtual termination of the Arian controversy after the Council of
Constantinople of 381 is a tribute to his success. He possessed great talent for organization and impressed on E. monasticism the structure and ethos which it has retained ever since. Feast day in the W., 2 Jan. (formerly 14 June, as now in parts of the Anglican Communion); in the E., 1 Jan. See also following entries.
