Jacob focuses on the symbolism of the apostles Jesus brings with him. Moses, the head of prophecy, and John, the beauty of apostleship, come together and Elijah and Simon are joined so that the keys Peter received over creation might be ratified. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463215033 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463215033 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463215033/original ER -
