About this book

A further volume of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series, edited by Philip Schaff, completing its selection from Gregory the Great. It adds the hymns and discourses of Ephraim the Syrian and writings of Aphrahat, the early Persian sage. Together these texts open a window on the Syriac-speaking church of the fourth century and its rich tradition of poetry and exhortation.
