Basil's letters, sermons, and theological treatises, together with the testimonies of his relatives and friends, reveal a man beset by doubt. He demanded loyalty, but he gave it also, making it a central feature of his church. In Philip Rousseau's portrait, Basil's understanding of human nature emerges as his major legacy.
