Author: St. Ephrem the Syrian
Condition: New
In his cycle of 15 Hymns on Paradise, St Ephrem the Syrian weaves a profound theological synthesis around the Biblical narrative in Genesis 2 and 3. In this fine Christian poetry, the author expresses his awareness of the sacramental character of the created world, and of the potential of everything in it to act as a witness and pointer to the Creator. God's two witnesses, says Ephrem, are, "Nature, through man's use of it, [and] Scripture, through his reading it." In his writing, Ephrem posits an inherent link between the material and spiritual worlds.
