This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily on Jephthah's
daughter invisages this single, virginal female as a prefiguration
of Christ. Jacob also discusses the history of blood sacrifice and
on the qualities that render Jephthah's action priestly. The volume
constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of
Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text
of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an
annotated English translation.
The long career of Jacob of Serugh provides insights into Scripture
and tradition expected by homilies as well as information about his
audience. In this publication, Harvey discusses Jacob of Serugh's
concern for congregations to balance lifestyle and devotional
obligations.
Syriac tradition remembers sixth century Byzantine emperor
Justinian I as the harsh persecutor of the faithful, while his wife
Theodora is revered as the "believing queen", champion and
protectress of the dissenting non-Chalcedonian church.
