A fourth-century deacon-poet whose hymns turned doctrine into song and made paradox the natural language of the divine.

Ephrem the Syrian stood at the eastern edge of the Roman world, in a city that the Persian armies besieged three times in his lifetime, and from that frontier he composed some of the most luminous theological poetry the Christian tradition has ever produced. The Wisdom of Ephrem the Syrian: Poetry, Paradox, and the Hidden God is a careful, contemplative introduction to his thought, drawing on his hymns on faith, paradise, the nativity, the church, and the heresies, as well as on his commentaries and his life of service in Nisibis and Edessa.
