Gregory of Nyssa - About the Life of Moses

"Perhaps the story of these illustrious men was written in detail for this: so that the life of those who come after may be directed to good, imitating the things that were done beforehand with righteousness. (...)From now on, in our discourse, we take Moses as a model of life. In the first place, we will quickly turn to his life, as we know it from divine Scripture; then we will seek the spiritual meaning corresponding to history, to receive a teaching on virtue. In this way we will know what the perfect life is for men".Learning from great men makes us great too. Good study.
