👉 Subscribe now and join a growing community seeking to live in the light of the Church’s enduring wisdom. Discover one of the great masterpieces of early Christian theology in Gregory of Nyssa’s The Life of Moses—a profound spiritual and philosophical reflection on the soul’s journey toward God. In this powerful allegorical work, Gregory uses the biblical story of Moses as a blueprint for the pursuit of virtue, spiritual perfection, and mystical union with the Divine. This video delves into Gregory’s rich interpretation of key events in Moses’s life, unveiling deep insights into the path of inner purification, the struggle against evil, the mystery of divine knowledge, and the symbolic meaning of the tabernacle, priesthood, and encounters with God. Far from a static spiritual ideal, Gregory introduces the idea of epektasis—the eternal and ever-deepening progress of the soul into the infinite mystery of God. Also referenced are foundational texts from other Church Fathers, including John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria, and Gregory of Nazianzus, which illuminate the broader context of patristic thought and the shared vision of the Christian mystical tradition. This video is ideal for students of early Christian theology, patristic spirituality, and anyone seeking to explore the depths of mystical ascent and divine incomprehensibility through one of the Cappadocian Fathers’ most enduring works. #christianmysticism #churchfathers #churchhistory The audio for this video was created by NotebookLM (a generative AI tool) for educational and entertainment purposes, drawing on public domain sources provided by the Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL): https://www.ccel.org/fathers and/or Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/
