Gregory of Nyssa, one of the great defenders of trinitarian Christianity and a true master of spiritual formation, was both an activist and a contemplative, committed deeply to the study of Scripture and to prayer. This sparkling paraphrase of his Sermons on the Beatitudes by Michael Glerup gives us an accesible on-ramp to the faith, theology and practices of Gregory and highlights the ways his teaching relates to our spiritual practice today. Moreover, the wise instruction of Gregory included here will ignite our passion for a deeper belief and obedience that are the fruit of a life of intimacy with Christ.
