Murphysboro Centuries, 4th sacred

Basil of Caesarea (Basil the Great), 330-379
- one of the “Cappadocians” who became leading theologians along with Athanasius - born in Cappadocia (western Turkey), he became a proponent of monasticism (for people “serious” about Christianity) and Nicea
- in 370 he became the bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia and so was able to strengthen the Nicene cause significantly
