Moral Reflections on the Book of Job, Volume 4

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of turmoil in Italy during the barbarian invasions, Gregory the Great's papacy from 590 to 604 was marked by significant challenges. His prior roles as prefect of Rome and apocrisarius equipped him to navigate the complexities of leadership during this period. The Moral Reflections on the Book of Job, initially shared with monks accompanying him on an embassy to Constantinople, highlight his theological insights and the spiritual guidance he offered amidst the chaos.
