ABECINA, A. L., Christ, the Spirit, and Human Transformation in Gregory of Nyssa's In Canticum Canticorum. Oxford University Press, 2023. 288p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Historical Theology. Alex Abecina's study of baptismal transformation in Gregory of Nyssa is thorough, meticulous, and convincing. Through a detailed analysis of Nyssen's homilies on the Song of Songs, Abecina shows that Gregory's contemplation of Scripture aims at the reader being baptized with the Spirit into union with the Father and the Son. Abecina's book is a major achievement-the benchmark for any future study of pneumatology in Gregory of Nyssa.
