Editing Gregory of Nazianzus (section)

=== Influence ===
Gregory's great nephew Nichobulos served as his literary executor, preserving and editing many of his writings. A cousin, Eulalios, published several of Gregory's more noteworthy works in 391.<ref name="McGuckin" />{{rp |xi}} By 400, Rufinius began translating his orations into Latin. As Gregory's works circulated throughout the empire they influenced theological thought. His orations were cited as authoritative by the [[Council of Ephesus]] in 431. By 451 he was designated ''Theologus'', or ''Theologian'' by the [[Council of Chalcedon]]<ref name="McGuckin" />{{rp |xi}} – a title held by no others save [[John the Apostle]]<ref name="Hunter-Blair" /> and [[Symeon the New Theologian]] (949–1022). He is widely quoted by Eastern Orthodox theologians and highly regarded as a defender of the Christian faith. His contributions to [[Trinity|Trinitarian theology]] are also influential and often cited in the Western churches.<ref>See how the 1992 edition of the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] cites a variety of Gregory's orations</ref> [[Paul Tillich]] credits Gregory of Nazianzus for having "created the definitive formulae for the doctrine of the trinity".<ref>Tillich, Paul; ''A History of Christian Thought'' ([[Simon & Schuster]], 1968), p. 76.</ref> Additionally, the [[Anaphora of Saint Gregory|Liturgy of Saint Gregory the Theologian]] in use by the [[Coptic Church]] is named after him.<ref name="OHCW">{{Citation |last1=Wainwright |first1=Geoffrey |last2=Westerfield Tucker |first2=Karen B. |last3=Chaillot |first3=Christine |title=[[The Oxford History of Christian Worship]] |chapter=The Ancient Oriental Churches |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |location=New York |date=2006 |isbn=978-0-19-513886-3 |page=139}}</ref>
