Gregory the Great was, after Augustine of Hippo, perhaps the most
influential of the Fathers in the Latin West during the Middle
Ages. He put Augustine's thought into a form which proved
accessible and acceptable to mediaeval readers, and he added much
of his own, notably in his preaching, in which he interpreted the
Bible with equal emphasis on the practical living of a good
Christian life and the aspiration of the soul towards God and the
life to come. This study looks at Gregory's thought as a whole and
tries to show what was most important to him and the way he arrived
at a balance between the active and the contemplative, the
'outward' and the 'inward' in his own mind. There is a tailpiece on
the influence of his ideas in later centuries.
