During the 5th-6th century multiple clashes of theological debate engulfed the Roman empire after the heated council controversies of Ephesus and Chalcedon. The aftermath sparked factions and formulated alliances dependent on their hermeneutical and dogmatic positions. This study inquires Narsai of Nisbis and Jacob of Serugh who are characterized by the late-antique’s drama and compares their hermeneutical backgrounds in relation to their beliefs.

Ephrem of Syria, power, truth, and construction of orthodoxy: modelling theory and method in critical historiography of the making of religious traditionVan der Bank, Annelie 02 1900 (has links)
Hymns can and have functioned as powerful strategic tools to change social and religious landscapes, and to inform and transform people’s notions about ‘doing church’. A few words about Ephrem the Syrian, which emphasised liturgical singing and accentuated the force of truth, the power of persuasion and socio-religious transformation was the starting point and connecting thread, which formed the backbone of this dissertation throughout—a research project that was also guided by some principles of new historicism to view Ephrem as a textual construct, living in a particular context and dealing with specific religious issues in a particular way. His trump card was the female choirs he founded, which became a distinct feature of orthodox Syrian Christianity. Through their singing performances, he ‘silenced’ the unorthodox voices of—especially Bardaisan—and created a community of believers where each person had a part to fulfil, where women and men would become ‘two harps’, ‘singing one praise’. / M. Th. (New Testament)
