Moses’s life as a path of spiritual progress

Drawing on the biblical accounts in Exodus and Numbers, Gregory of Nyssa recounts Moses’s life and uses its episodes as foundations for spiritual reflection. The book presents virtue as part of an ongoing journey toward God: progress is continual, not a destination that can be fully reached. Its combination of biblical narrative and theological interpretation places it within the tradition of Christian mystical writing, while also tracing an approach to spiritual growth centered on deepening knowledge and love of God.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian mysticism and early Christian theology
  • Those seeking spiritual reflections grounded in the biblical story of Moses
  • Readers exploring teachings on virtue and the pursuit of knowledge and love of God

Book overview

St. Gregory of Nyssa (335-394 CE), who came from an illustrious Christian family of Capadocia, became bishop of the small town of Nyssa in 371 and is known as one of the founders of mystical theology in the Church. In The Life of Moses, one of the most important books in the study of Christian mysticism, Gregory retells the story of Moses's life from the biblical account in Exodus and Numbers and then refers back to these stories as the basis for profound spiritual lessons. The ultimate goal of Gregory's spirituality is to strive for infinite progress in the never-completed journey to God. His exhortations to lead a life of virtue will inspire all who hope to increase their knowledge and love of God.
