Cistercian Publications January 1988. Paper Back Paper Back. New. A tantalizing glimpse into the little-known world of the Syriac tradition which alongside the Greek and Latin traditions constitutes Christendom. This intensely Semitic and Biblical tradition while informed by Greek patristic thought retains a strange poetic beauty a unique and pristine perception of the Christian life as purity of heart and clarity of vision: the image of the ''luminous eye'' unites and conveys the essence of it. Included in this book are selections from writers such as Aphrahat Ephrem the Syrian Evagrius John the Solitary Isaac of Ninevah and others who deserve to be better known in the West. 381 pp.
