Description: Bible and Poetry in Late Antique Mesopotamia : Ephrem’s Hymns on Faith, Hardcover by Wickes, Jeffrey, ISBN 0520302869, ISBN-13 9780520302860, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "Ephrem the Syrian (d. 373 .) wrote in a variety of genres, but the bulk of his output took the form of madrashe, a Syriac genre of musical poetry. This book examines Ephrem's largest collection of madrashe, the Madrashe on Faith, a collection in which Ephrem engaged poetically the theological controversies that followed the Council of Nicaea (325 .). Drawing on literary, ritual, and performance theories, Bible and Poetry shows how Ephrem used the Syriac Bible to construct and conceive himself and his audience. In so doing, Wickes resituates Ephrem in a broader early Christian context, and contributes to discussions of literature and religion in late antiquity"--Provided by publisher.
