Gregory the Great, whose reign spanned the years between 590 and
604 A.D., was one of the most remarkable figures of the early
medieval Papacy. Aristocrat, administrator, teacher and scholar, he
ascended the throne of St Peter at a time of acute crisis for the
Roman Church. Consul of God, first published in 1980, revises the
traditional picture of Pope Gregory. It examines how he organised
the central administration of the Papacy and his unremitting war on
heresy and schism. Gregory also pioneered a new pastoral tradition
in learning, promoted monasticism, and trained the episcopate.
Jeffrey Richards demonstrates that Gregory was both a conservative
and a pioneer, and just as his reign looked forward to the medieval
world it also looked back to a vanishing world of imperial unity.
He was thus the last representative of those Roman senators whose
fortitude and energy he emulated, earning the epitaph 'Consul of
God'.
