Symbolic reading of the Book of Exodus influenced by The Life of Moses by Gregory of Nyssa. The story of Moses provides a blueprint for how to live a spiritual life in a materialistic world. Though our human nature means that we will surely have failures on our journey to our own promised land, Gregory sees in Exodus an example of constantly reaching. striving toward our ideals will guide us along the way.
