Syriac Genius
Author: Dale A. Johnson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557036224
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
This is a series of essays about near forgotten Syriac speaking Christians who contributed an extraordinary culture of scientific, linguistic, theological, and diplomatic genius. Generations of Syriac scholars nearly by themselves recovered the Greek wisdom of Galen, Aristotle, and Plato among other writers and works for Arab, Latin, and European cultures. Enormous contributions to math, medicine, and geography could not have been made without them. Western and Eastern cultures depend on the bridge built by Syriac genius.

The Sacred Writings of Ephraim the Syrian
Author: Ephraim the Syrian
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849673138
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Ephraim the Syrian was a saint who lived in Mesopotamia during the first three quarters of the 4th century A.D. He is perhaps the most influential of all Syriac authors; and his fame as a poet, commentator, preacher and defender of orthodoxy has spread throughout all branches of the Christian Church. This reputation he owes partly to the vast fertility of his pen - according to the historian Sozomen he was credited with having written altogether 3,000,000 lines - partly to the elegance of his style and a certain measure of poetic inspiration, more perhaps to the strength and consistency of his personal character, and his ardour in defence of the creed formulated at Nicaea.

Paradise and Paradigm
Author: Christopher Buck
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791497941
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
In a novel approach that the author terms "symbolic paradigm analysis," Paradise and Paradigm offers a "theoretically modular" systematic comparison of two "Persian" religions: early Syriac Christianity as the foundation of the East Syrian "Church of the East" (the Nestorian Church of Persia) and the Baha'i Faith, a new world religion. The author compares the hymns of the greatest poet of early Christianity, Saint Ephrem the Syrian, and the richly imagistic writings of the founder of the Baha'i religion, Baha'u'llah. The book employs an original analytic technique in the creation of "symbolic profiles" constructed on Ninian Smart's dimensional model of religion. As Buck skillfully demonstrates, formal similarities between any two religions are best comprehended in terms of paradigmatic differences, which nuance all parallels through a process of symbolic transformation. Buck also shows the communal reflexivity of paradise imagery in representing the ideal faith-community in both traditions.
