      Jacob of Sarug's Homily on the Love of God towards Humanity and of the Just towards God

      Product Description

      Recognized as a saint by both Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Christians alike, Jacob of Sarug (d. 521) produced many narrative poems that have rarely been translated into English. Of his reported 760 metrical homilies, only about half survive. Part of a series of fascicles containing the bilingual Syriac-English editions of Saint Jacob of Sarug's homilies, this volume contains his homily on the love of God, pondering the ineffable love of God as it has unfolded over the course of sacred history, culminating in the Crucifixion of Christ. God's love dims that of even the most righteous, and Jacob's homily resolves that the appropriate response from all creation is wonder, awe, and praise. The Syriac text is fully vocalized, and the translation is annotated with a commentary and biblical references. The volume is one of the fascicles of Gorgias Press's The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain all of Jacob's surviving sermons.
