Abstract

Gregory of Nyssa makes clear reference to Job and the Book of Job in his works. Sometimes Job is described as a great figure of the OT, full of virtues and imitable for his wisdom, his faith and his trust in God. In other instances, Gregory adduces the Book of Job when he deals with important theological issues like the origin of language or the descent of Christ into hell. This paper discusses Gregory’s exegesis of the Book of Job and points out both, his respect for the text and his high spiritual and theological comprehension of Scripture.
