Healing in the Theology of Saint Ephrem

Aho Shemunkasho, "Healing in the Theology of Saint Ephrem"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 1593331568 | PDF | pages: 505 | 4,7 mb

Throughout his work, Ephrem presents a wide range of theological themes and images that are characteristic of Syrian Christianity in the fourth century. A significant one that no one has yet studied in Ephrem, or in any other Syriac writer is the concept of sickness and healing. In the course of six chapters, this thesis presents the significance of healing theology and the ways in which the healing of man, spiritually, mentally and corporally is highly valued by Ephrem.
The Introduction, chapter one, looks briefly at some modern studies done on the place of ancient medicine in society in relation to religion, philosophy and science.In particular, it looks at how Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman scientific medicine was seen in relationship to religion, first pagan, and later to Judaism and Christianity.
