The life of Gregory of Nyssa was one of successive, sharply marked stages. He was born in Cappadocia, around the year 330, into a family that was exceptionally Christian. This collection of the spirtual writings of St Gregory of Nyssa, selected and introduced by Jean Danielou, has long been recognized as an authoritative introduction to the "father of mysticism", who exploded classical antiquity's static understanding of perfection by showing the Christian life as one of never-ending growth, a true dynamic movement "from glory to glory".
