Möten med Eva i syrisk liturgi

Abstract

The figure of Eve held enormous significance for ancient Christians. Syriac biblical commentaries and theological treatises vilified Eve as the source of human woe. Yet Syriac liturgy offered a different portrait of Eve. In hymns, verse homilies, and church decoration, Eve was presented in compassionate relation to the whole of humanity.
