Profound! Perhaps a Catechetical Resource
A book of deep and great insights by the foremost scholar of Syriac Literature, Sebastian Brock. This is a book that brings to light the profound insights and Spiritual tradition of Syriac Christianity that comes to us from the pen of St. Ephrem the Syrian. However, this book goes much farther than this and could even potentially be used a catechetical tool because of the masterful arrangement of Brock. Should be read by anyone interested in Syriac Christianity but also any Christian. Syriac, being a sister of Aramaic (the language of the Lord), provides reflections on the Scriptures which are profound and Brock points out that despite all the talk of the 'hellenizing' of the Greek fathers, Syriac and Greek Christianity both bequeath the same import of the faith. HIGHLY recommended!!
