Healing in the Theology of Saint Ephrem

Product Description Ephrem, the most celebrated writer of the Syriac Church, presents a wide range of theological themes and images that are characteristic of fourth century Syrian Christianity. A significant theme that no one has yet studied in Ephrem, or in any other Syriac writer, is the concept of sickness and healing. In the course of six chapters this book presents the significance of healing theology and the ways in which the healing of man - spiritually, mentally and corporally - is highly valued by Ephrem. About the Author Aho Shemunkasho lectures and offers seminars at the newly established Theological Seminary of St. Jacob of Serugh, Warburg.
