On Repentance

About this book

On Repentance presents a profound collection of ascetical homilies traditionally attributed to Saint Ephrem the Syrian, the "Harp of the Spirit" and one of the great voices of early Christianity. Overflowing with biblical imagery, spiritual urgency, and poetic power, these homilies reveal repentance not merely as sorrow for sin, but as the path of restoration, transformation, and communion with God.Appearing here in English translation for the first time, this volume offers contemporary readers a treasury of Syriac-inspired Orthodox spirituality centered on the inexhaustible mercy of God.
