On Virginity
Lu par Geremia
In On Virginity, St. Gregory of Nyssa considers the Christian ideal of virginity as a path toward a life of virtue. Written in the fourth century, the work asks what this commitment means and why it might shape a person’s spiritual life.
Rather than telling a story, Gregory offers a work of religious reflection and exhortation. He explores the discipline and purpose of a life devoted to God, addressing readers who seek to order their choices around spiritual aims.
This audiobook is suited to listeners interested in early Christian thought, ascetic practice, and the history of Christian ideas about virtue and devotion.
