CONCLUSION --; BIBLIOGRAPHY; restricted access N2 - Ephrem, the most celebrated writer of the Syriac Church, presents a wide range of theological themes and images that are characteristic of fourth-century Syrian Christianity. A significant theme that no one has yet studied in Ephrem is the concept of sickness and healing. This book presents the significance of healing theology and the ways in which the healing of man - spiritually, mentally, and corporally - is highly valued by Ephrem. The main part of the book deals with the causes of spiritual sickness and the process of healing, and the way in which Ephrem places them in the divine history of salvation UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463236359 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463236359 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463236359/original ER -
