| Synopsis: |
Ephraem the Syrian (+ 373) is the brightest light in the Syriac-speaking Christian tradition. A hymnographer, homilist, exegete and theologian of great ability, his works provide a window into a sphere of early Christianity too little known to modern readers. many of which show Ephraem's involvement in the debates stemming from the Arian Controversy, contain much of his most fully articulated theological writing. Approaching these fundamental topics from a point of view quite different from his Greek and Latin speaking contemporaries, Ephraem discusses the nature of God and creation, the usefulness and limits of theological language, the revelation of God in Scripture and nature, as well as providing detailed discussions of questions of Christology. collection offers not only an opportunity to hear a new voice from the Christian past, but also demonstrates that high level, technically adept theological writing can be couched in clear, poetic style with much use of imagery and symbols. Students of the Middle East will discover much information here about the religious currents active in the region during the Late Antique period. references, theologically significant Syriac words (with all their appearances noted) and of topics and themes addressed. These are designed to increase the volume's usefulness for teaching, especially for students innocent of Syriac. |
