Morals on the Book of Job, Volume 1

Overview

St. Gregory the Great's massive four-volume commentary on the Book of Job is thought to have been written between 578 and 595. The first two chapters from the Book of Job are explained in a three part structure: historical, allegorical, and moral application. Gregory the Great then follows a historical, mystical, and moral pattern of explaining the Book of Job. Volume one of the Morals on the Book of Job covers the Book of Job chapters 1–12.
