By Michael Glerup
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.
The Classics in Spiritual Formation series is designed for those who want to read the church fathers for the first time as well as for those who want a fresh new paraphrase of a beloved work. Using conversational language, these paraphrases from the original Greek and Latin are bringing the ancient wisdom into contemporary life. Each volume includes an introduction overviewing key themes and backgrounds as well as pull-out descriptions of related spiritual formation practices.
