This book brings together a new, original survey of the
significance of Gregory's life and work with translations of eight
beautiful and profound orations. Gregory of Nazianzus portrays a
vivid picture of a fascinating character of vital importance who
deserves to be regarded as the first true Christian humanist.
The eight orations, each representing a different aspect of his
writing, are examined alongside a selection of his shorter poems in
verse translation, letters, and a translation of Gregory's own
will. Author Brian Daley offers extensive commentary on the works
translated and an ample bibliography.
With an extensive introduction to Gregory's life, thought and
writings, and including detailed notes, this study places Gregory
in his correct historical context, and gives students access to a
deeper understanding of this fascinating figure from the past.
