The article Christology of Gregory of Nyssa. Doctrine and Context presents three basic factors stimulating origins of St. Gregory's of Nyssa christological doctrine – social, philosophical and psychological context. Good rhetoric education, continuation of apophatic theology's traditions and progressive distancing of Platonic discourse are the main elements configuring the author's Christology, which remains in inseparable connection with soteriology and mysticism. These factors show the impact on the formation of the idea of all mankind's unity, which is crucial for St. Gregory. This monad is the fundamental binder which combines adopted by Christ in the Incarnation, unitary, individual human nature with all mankind. So this is the culmination of the whole Christology of the Nyssian, expressed in two basic terms – 'humanisation' and 'deification'.
