Abstract
Abstract The article offers a brief presentation of Basil of Caesarea (329-378) in the context of a polyphony of the church fathers. Basil, one of the most influential figures in the entire history of the Eastern Church, held close contacts with many other major theologians and bishops of his time. His large corpus of extant letters gives a strong sense of his participation in a polyphonic interaction between diverse Christian voices. Yet he is also elusive and often difficult to integrate into conventional categories of patristic history. This can be explained by his pragmatic approach to theology which uniquely combines deep intellectual sophistication with a level-headed awareness of the practical needs of the Church in his own time.
