Sinossi

Sermons and other texts that might be regarded as homiletic comprise a significant proportion of the surviving corpus of Syriac literature from late antiquity. Nevertheless, the Syriac homiletic tradition has hardly been incorporated into the general study of early Christian preaching. The present volume provides an introduction to Syriac sermons, which will be useful both for specialists in Syriac literature and for anyone interested in late antique homilies. The contributions in this volume offer diverse approaches to the study of homilies, focusing on thematic elements, questions of audience and reception, and defining the "genre" of homilies in Syriac literature.
