“In his later years Gregory turned to developing a philosophical theology of the spiritual life. Central to these later writings is the ‘Life of Moses,’ previously untranslated into English in its entirety. Gregory first summarizes the history of Moses and then draws moral and spiritual lessons from events in his life. The work develops the theme that the virtuous life is a perpetual progress based on the infinite goodness of God.”
