Synopsis

Morals On The Book Of Job, Tr. With Notes And Indices By J. Bliss. 3 Vols. The 3Rd In 2 Pt — Gregory the Great. Gregory the Great's Morals on the Book of Job is a dense patristic commentary that treats Job as a type of Christ and of Holy Church. The work blends exegetical interpretation with exhortation for church leadership, preaching, and social mercy, situating the last days of the Church under pressure from heresy, carnality, and persecution. It argues that Wisdom comes to the heart through divine revelation, and that preaching must be matched by lived virtue—with money, care for the poor, and humane governance balancing discipline with compassion. Heretics are rigorously tested against charity and obedience, while Scripture serves as a living weapon through a fourfold pattern of Wisdom. The narrative voice shapes Job’s trials into ecclesial instruction—justice tempered by mercy; vigilance amid spiritual warfare; and hope grounded in the Resurrection and in the Mediator. The treatise fuses allegory, typology, and Scriptural cross-references to outline a moral theology of preaching and governance for Holy Church.
