| Summary: | In the course of this densely written and fascinating study, Warren Smith offers a version of Gregory's thought which attempts to link together two aspects of Nyssen's approach, his anthropology and his eschatology. These are above all analysed in Gregory's treatment of the former in his De anima et resurrectione and the latter in his fifteen homilies In Canticum Canticorum. The different stresses these works present are not explained away as arising from a difference either of time or of purpose. The former approach will hardly do anyway, given that the De anima dates from about 380 and the homilies from only five years later. |
