You could also inform yourself about the fourth century ecclesiastics known as the Cappadocian Fathers, [Basil the Great, Basil's younger brother Gregory of Nyssa, and their close friend, Gregory of Nazianzus]. All three of these men were highly educated including in Greek philosophy, particularly Neoplatonism. Gregory of Nazianus’ [i]Five Orations[i/i] are the fullest and most coherent statement of Nicene orthodoxy. He acknowledges the weakness of his argument in the problem of trying to reconcile how a Jesus who was “one in substance with the Father” could suffer human pain and emotions, yet despite some of their flaws these five works were considered a tour de force and continued to be recognised as such for some considerable time
