The division of the tongues at Babel was a sign that the Good News would be spoken in all tongues. The One who divided the tongues at Babel gave the tongues of fire as well. 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/10.31826/9781463215064 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463215064 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463215064/original ER -
