| Summary: | The author briefly retraces the contents of Homily No. 25 in Evangelia, in order to deepen the sequence of images that constitutes its conclusion: the suggestive cosmic struggle of Leviathan, defeated by the aculeus of Christ's body that he intended to devour. An attempt is made to reconstruct a history of texts and traditions that feature the sea monster and the allegory of fishing, variously connected to the conduct of God, the devil, Jesus and the disciples, in Jerome's exegesis of the book of the prophet Habakkuk and of Matthew's gospel. The picture of a cosmic struggle between God and the devil sketched through the allegory of fishing allows us to reflect on the Christological component of the figuration, on the ecclesial space of preaching, and on the poetic and stylistic figure of Gregory as an intellectual and preacher at the service of the ecclesia. |
