Saint Basil the Great was a fourth century Byzantine bishop of Caesarea and an influential theologian that supported the Nicene Creed and opposed the heresies of the early Christian church. His ability to balance his theological convictions with his political connections made Basil a powerful advocate for the Nicene position. He was also known for his care of the poor and underprivileged. Along with Pachomius, Basil is remembered as a father of communal monasticism in Eastern Christianity.

Regarded by some as the greatest genius of the early Christian church, Origen of Alexandria was a third century scholar, ascetic and theologian. He was a prolific writer of approximately 2,000 treatises in multiple branches of theology, including textual criticism, biblical exegesis and hermeneutics and spirituality. His treatise ‘On the First Principles’ systematically lays out the principles of Christian theology and became the foundation for later theological writings; while the treatise ‘Against Celsus’ is regarded as the most influential work of early Christian apologetics, in which Origen defends Christianity against the pagan philosopher Celsus, one of its foremost critics.

Saint Gregory of Nazianzus was a fourth century Church Father, whose defense of the doctrine of the Trinity (God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) made him one of the greatest champions of orthodoxy against Arianism. Following his death, as Gregory’s works circulated throughout the empire, they exacted a large influence on theological thought. In 451 he was designated as ‘Theologian’ by the Council of Chalcedon —a title held by no others, save John the Apostle and Symeon the New Theologian.
