Much is known about Basil of Caesarea (329-379) - a Greek Bishop who resided in what is now Turkey. A thoughtful theologian, he was instrumental is the formation of the Nicene Creed and fought a growing heresy, Arianism, which had found converts even in those in high positions of state. In the face of such a threat he showed courage, wisdom and complete confidence in God--without which, the Church would not be what it is today.
