St. Gregory of Nyssa, one of the most spiritual of all the Fathers of the Church, undertakes to comment on the inscriptions found before most of the Psalms because he believes their inspired teaching leads our minds to true blessedness. As Gregory himself points out in his Preface, he found it necessary to go beyond the inscription and to examine the psalms as a whole in order to accurately comprehend their main theme. As a result of his effort, St. Gregory offers us a spiritually charged book.
