On Virginity

On Virginity

by Gregory of Nyssa

On Virginity is a classic work of Christian literature by Gregory of Nyssa, written around 370 AD. The book is addressed to young women who are considering a life of virginity and chastity, and it seeks to persuade them of the benefits and rewards of such a life. Gregory argues that virginity is a state of perfection and holiness, and that it is the only way to achieve true happiness and fulfillment. He also discusses the challenges and difficulties of living a chaste life, and he offers advice on how to overcome them. On Virginity is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about the Christian tradition of virginity and chastity.
