Teachers

Converts
Nuns
Monks

Answer 1

Gregory of Nyssa's "The Great Catechesis" was specifically aimed at **converts** to Christianity. In this work, Gregory sought to instruct newly converted Christians in the fundamental beliefs and practices of the faith. He structured his catechesis to guide them through the essential doctrines and moral teachings they would need to embrace as they joined the Christian community. While other groups like teachers, skeptics, nuns, and monks may have found the text useful, the primary target audience was clearly those who were new to the faith.
