Reviews
"Although Gregory's thought deeply influenced subsequent Christian thinking, it is surprising how rare are monographs on Gregory's theology -- a fact that makes the present solid and workmanlike study a welcome addition to Gregorian literature." - ADRIS
"This is a thoroughly pleasant and informative essay. . . . Focusing strictly on what Gregory understood by pride, Baasten succeeds, thanks to his careful analysis, in introducing the reader to the core of Gregorian spirituality. . . . deserves to be welcomed by students of patristics, by medievalists, and by any historian of Christian ethics." - Journal of the American Academy of Religion
