Gregory the Great was pope from 590 to 604, a time of great turmoil in Italy and in the western Roman Empire generally because of the barbarian invasions. Gregory’s experience as prefect of the city of Rome and as apocrisarius of Pope Pelagius fitted him admirably for the new challenges of the papacy. The Moral Reflections on the Book of Job were first given to the monks who accompanied Gregory to the embassy in Constantinople.
This fourth volume, containing books 17 through 22, provides commentary on twelve chapters of Job, from 24:21 through 31:40.
"I give this book a high recommendation, both for its readable and accurate translation, and because it brings together a noteworthy saint and a timeless biblical book, both of which originated during a troubled time like ours. Essential reading for enthusiasts not only of the writings of St. Gregory, but of the book of Job, as well."Karl A. Schultz
