Abecina has produced a very helpful close reading of Gregory's pneumatology in his homilies on the Song of Songs, showing how deeply Gregory's vision of the Spirit draws together his understanding of the Christian's transformation in the body of Christ and his Trinitarian theology. This book models for us how we must attend to the theological dynamics of Gregory's texts.
