	abstract = {Jaeger died in 1961 but his works appear in everyone's list of must-reads on this topic. He was a consummate classicist, and also wrote extensively on the life and thought of Gregory of Nyssa. 

This short work of 154 pages chronicles the encounter of Greek thought and early Christianity in the figures of Clement of Alexandria and Origen that would prepare the path for great synthesis of Greek culture and the Christian religion as embodied in the lives and works of the Cappodocian Fathers and Macrina, sister to Gregory of Nyssa and Basil the Great.

Noteworthy as it relates to integration is Jaeger's discussion of Gregory of Nyssa later in the book, and specifically the way Gregory develops a Christian counterpart of the classical Greek concept of paideia. At the core of Gregory's Christian paideia is the Bible, which replaces the corpus of Greek literature as the object of learning, the form that molds a person. "Christ is the form," Jaeger writes, and he must take shape" in us. To the extent that we have been molded by the Bible, by Christ, we are prepared for the successful integration of faith and learning.},
