Product Details
- Ephrem the Syrian is the most important poet and theologian of the Syriac Christian tradition. His numerous hymns, homilies, and commentaries were highly influential for later generations, and his poetry continues to be broadly used in the liturgies of Syrian Christian churches. This new translation of twenty poems, the only edition of Ephrem that features a text in vocalized serto script with a facing translation, offers a broad and varied introduction to Ephrem's work. Arranged according to his concept of salvation history, this book will allow readers to further explore his poetry in both its original language and in a contemporary English translation.

Ancient & Classical Editorial Review
**** "Ephrem the Syrian: Select Poems Eastern Christian Texts" serves as an outstanding introduction to the significant work of St. Ephrem of Nisibis, a pivotal figure in Syriac literature. The meticulously chosen selection of poems reflects Brock and Kiraz's intention to make Ephrem's extensive poetic repertoire accessible, especially to those who may be unfamiliar with Syriac studies. One of the key features of this volume is its inclusion of vowel pointing, a detail often absent in expert editions, which greatly aids non-specialists in navigating the texts. Additionally, the choice to use the Serto font, commonly associated with the Syriac New Testament, enhances readability and familiarity for students and beginners. While it's acknowledged that no translation could fully encompass the intricate wordplay of Ephrem's writing, this edition provides well-crafted translations that capture essential aspects of his poetry. Each poem is accompanied by a concise introduction that explains its themes and meter, further enriching the reader's experience and comprehension. The editors’ ambition to make Ephrem's devotional insights accessible to a broader audience is successfully realized through thoughtful choices in presentation and structure, all at a reasonable price. Overall, this compilation highlights the beauty of Ephrem's work, inviting readers to delve into the spiritual and intellectual richness of early Christian thought articulated in Syriac. **Pros and Cons:** **
