Sayings by St. Gregory "The Theologian" Nazianzus ~ Theology

 

From St. Gregory Nazianzus (On God and Christ, Oration 27 sect. 3; St. Vladimir's Seminary Press pg. 27):

   Who should listen to discussions of theology? Those for whom it is a serious undertaking, not just another subject like any other for entertaining small-talk, after the races, the theater, songs, food, and sex: for there are people who count chatter on theology and clever deployment of arguments as one of their amusements.
