Infinity, , has held various meanings throughout the history of theology and philosophy. In many ancient texts, as well as among Christian theologians influenced by them, , the concept has been addressed with different approaches. Therefore, it is not precisely clear what they mean when they use this concept, especially in relation to God. Ancient Greeks spoke of quantitative infinity as well as non-quantitative or qualitative infinity. However, most of them, as well as Christian theologians, primarily consider infinity not in terms of quantity, but as a unique quality of God or the Absolute, a quality that is not directly related to number and measurement. According to Gregory, the divine nature is immutable and devoid of any opposite that could limit it, and because it has no opposite, it is limitless in goodness and other perfections. In the present essay, we will attempt to trace the ontological-theological history of the concept of infinity in the thought of the ancient Greeks, from the Apeiron of the Greeks to qualitative infinity as the most important attribute of God in the works of Gregory of Nyssa, and to examine the extent of his influence from Greek thought in explaining this attribute of God.
