By St. Ephrem the Syrian A fine example of Christian poetry, in which the author weaves a profound theological synthesis around a particular Biblical narrative. Centered on Genesis 2 and 3, St. Ephrem expresses his awareness of the sacramental character of the created world, and of the potential of everything in the created world to act as a witness and pointer to the Creator. Translation and commentary is by Sebastian Brock, a fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, and University Lecturer in Aramaic and Syriac.
