Opis

This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarugs (d. 521) homily on Zacchaeus the tax-collector makes the point that Christs path goes by those most in need of repentance. Zacchaeus recognizes his shortcomings and is healed by Christ, who then makes Zacchaeus a mirror or sign for all humanity to see. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacobs surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.
