Narsai, who is variously called the tongue of the East and the harp of the Spirit, is among the most important and influential Syriac authors. His life spanned the fifth century, which was a tumultuous time for Christians following the controversies surrounding the First Council of Ephesus, the Second Council of Ephesus, and the Council of Chalcedon. Playing a crucial role at this critical juncture, Narsai would ultimately be remembered as one of the foundational figures of the Church of the East. The present volume inaugurates the series Narsai: The Homilies, which aims to provide English translations of all the surviving homilies of Narsai. The homilies translated in this volume are On Revelations to Patriarchs and Prophets (I) (1), On Jonah (14), On Peter and Paul (8), On Stephen (10), On Mary (5), and On the Evil of the Time (12).
