On the Life of Christ: Chanted Sermons by the Great Sixth Century Poet and Singer St. Romanos (International Sacred Literature Trust) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Hailed as "the greatest poet of the Greek middle ages," Saint Romanos the Melodist established the kontakion, or chanted sermon, as the poetic voice of the Byzantine Church. Archimandrite Ephrem Lash has selected kontakia by this sixth-century saint that retell and explore the significance of key events in the life of Jesus Christ. Through the rich interweaving of biblical imagery, we approach the Christian mystery in the company of Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, and other prophets and patriarchs as well as the people of the New Testament.
