It formed their prayer, their lives, and their teaching. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author of a book on \u003ci\u003ePastoral Care\u003c\/i\u003e, Gregory the Great (+604) reveals himself in these forty sermons on the gospel as both pastor and preacher. He pays careful attention to the historical details of Scripture, seeks out its moral application to daily Christian life, and through it reflects on the hidden reality of God. For the Christian, study of Scripture entails a personal engagement with mystery, and openness to transformation. This is not a form of escapism but an attempt to achieve a mystical, intuitive, experiential perception of the divine while one is still held bound by earthly and bodily ties. Everything Gregory thought or spoke or wrote leads to this goal. This is why he remains an effective guide for those who seek a religion that gives meaning to their lives. \n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698939359539,"sku":"9780879077235","price":58.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TMiZ01hTQK9780879077235.webp?v=1781568898","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/forty-gospel-homilies-volume-123-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
