Also are revealed some particular merits of the saint and his contribution for the eastern theology. Third, the merits of Professor Sebastian Brock in respect to his research on Saint Ephrem’s writings are underlined. I will refer primarily to his two books: The luminous Eye and The Hymns on Paradise. Next, the paper tries to emphasize the process of passing a Tradition and its uniqueness from one local church to another - namely the transition/translation of Saint Ephrem’s writings into Greek and consequently their spreading into the vast area of the Christian Church. Finally the paper will discuss the close relation between Saint Ephrem’s theology in particular and the Byzantine heritage: theology, liturgics, art.
