CHRISTOLOGICAL THOUGHT OF THE SYRIAC FATHERS
CHRISTOLOGICAL THOUGHT OF THE SYRIAC FATHERS

Summary/Abstract: The apologetic heritage is related to the authentic part of Syriac theology. Like Saint Ephrem, Jacob of Serugh exceeds the limitation of concepts and goes beyond the liturgical reality from symbol towards the mystery. Although he is very little known in the Romanian theology, the Syrian writer offers many important apologetic arguments in the Christian work of confession. His homilies, majority in verses, exemplify an authentic manner of thinking in the doctrine of the Church. In this way, the Syrian bishop “elaborates a series of doctrinal structures very important in the act of revelation and prophecy: the works of the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation of the Son of God as a confession of the divine love toward man, the foundation of the Church which expands the salvation work of Christ in our time”.
