Carole Straw places Gregory in his historical context and considers the many facets of his personality~monk, preacher, and pope~elucidating his thought and spiritual concerns. "This is a remarkable work, unquestionably the most original and perceptive study of the spiritual physiognomy of Gregory the Great that has been written in the English language and perhaps in any language. I have little doubt that it will be read attentively, not only by those particularly interested in Gregory I, but also by many scholars concerned more generally with the history of patristic and medieval theology and spirituality." ~ Paul Meyvaert, Medieval Academy of America. "(A) most sophisticated and precise study . One could hardly ask for a more subtle, detailed, or insightful interpretation of the thought of a complex figure of Christian history." ~E. Ann Matter, Speculum. "An indispensable starting point for anyone seeking the roots and basic contours of medieval spirituality." ~Richard E. Sullivan, American Historical Review. "Carole Straw has written what is certain to become the definitive work in English on the thought and spiritual concerns of Pope Gregory the Great. It is a model of scholarship, in its clarity of organization, its breadth of research, its analytical depth, and its intellectual rigor. She demonstrates an enviable mastery of the elusive skills of literary criticism, theological explication, and philosophical disquisition." ~Jeffrey Richards, The Catholic Historical Review. "Remercions~la [Professor Straw] de nous dormer, sur un sujet magnifique, un travail qui confine a la perfection." ~Adalbert de Vogue, Collectanea Cisterciensia. …

Paper Back. Condizione: New. The definitive work in English on this truly larger-than-life figure in the history of the Church. St. Gregory (540-604) became Pope in 590, and during his papacy changed the face of his office, of the Church, and in many ways, of Western civilization. His influence was multifaceted: As a monk, he knew the happiest years of his life and embraced an asceticism that pervaded his spirituality and theology; as an administrator, he was a bulwark against the chaos that was engulfing Italy and a champion of an independent papacy, which became a model for the medieval papacy; pastorally, his practical and authoritative Rule became the standard for the medieval episcopate; as to preaching, his homilies on Ezekiel and on the Gospels were fundamental examples for medieval exegetes; and in hagiography, his dialogues created a genre that embraced countless collections throughout the Middle Ages. Carole Straw sympathetically relates the contours, paradoxes, and subtleties in the character of this figure who was the singular link between the late antique and medieval worlds. CONTENTS: Microcosm and Mediator - A Sacramental Vision - The Saint and the Social Meaning of Stability - Soliditas Caritatis - Lubrica Mutabilitas - The Logic of Asceticism - The Mediator of God and Man - The God-Man and the New Dispensation - The Sacrifice of a Contrite Heart - Reform and the Preacher - The Just Penitent - Constantia Mentis.…
