Reviews

The detailed observations about the significance of Gregorys anagogical theology of participatory virtue are enjoyably articulated and engage a broad cross-section of his writings.
*Grant Bayliss, Scottish Journal of Theology*

Boersma's characteristic clarity of style, breadth of scholarship, and critical charity are on full display throughout the book, which has much to offer the specialist and general reader alike.
*William Junker, Los Angeles Review of Books*

Boersma offers many interesting insights, based on an intimate acquaintance with Gregory's works. ... in doing so he gives us a salutary reminder of the distance between a fourth-century ontological framework and our own.
*Ann Conway-Jones, Journal of Ecclesiastical History*
