Re: Invention of Macrina the Younger?

In the 4th century, Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa invented their sister Macrina the Younger for very mundane reasons - it was for the good of their careers. What happened here? For a C4 parallel to her argument that 'Macrina' is entirely a fictional construct, Przyszychowska points to Paul o...
