What it is

Sixty-five answers to difficulties in scripture, each opening into an argument about the passions, the fall, and how the incarnation heals the will.

Why it lasted

Maximus's fullest exegetical work, and where his account of the human will is worked out before it became a matter of imperial politics.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
