Jacob of Sarug's Homily on the Holy Sunday of the Pentecost : Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug Paperback / softback

Part of the Texts from Christian Late Antiquity series

Paperback / softback

Description

This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily on Pentecost draws a comparison between the Upper Room where the disciples receive the Holy Spirt and the Tower of Babel. The division of the tongues at Babel was a sign that the Good News would be spoken in all tongues. The One who divided the tongues at Babel gave the tongues of fire as well. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.
