Preaching Christology in the Roman Near East - Philip Michael (Post-Doctoral Researcher in Late Antique Christianity in the Near East Forness - Bog

This study develops a methodology for approaching homilies that draws on a broader understanding of audience as both the physical audience and the readership of sermons. It then offers a case study on the Syriac preacher Jacob of Serguh whose metrical homilies form one of the largest sermon collections in any language from late antiquity.
