"This handsome volume has a brief introduction to the work as a whole but otherwise contains the translation of the text only, with marginal notations when Gregory cites biblical texts form throughout the Christian canon."<b><i>The Bible Today</i></b>
“This is a volume that is ripe for <i>lectio divina</i>, as well as learning how to be responsibly creative in accommodating the text to personal needs.”<br /><b>Karl Schultz</b>
"Brian Kerns's work of translation enables the modern-day seeker of God to read Gregory's deeply contemplative words into their own lives."<br /><b><i>Tjurunga</i></b>
"Whether read by itself or in conjunction with Parts 1 through 4, the present volume prepares the reader for what is still to come, Gregory's reflections on the culminating theophany, the voice out of the whirlwind, and the concluding vindication of Job-soon to appear, one hopes, in the final installment of this impressive English version of a central work of the Western patristic tradition."<br /><i><b>Cistercian Studies Quarterly</b></i>
