“The pillar of the Church, the great father and ecumenical teacher, the Syrian prophet, the Syrian sun, the spiritual philosopher and profound scholar, ornate lips and the zither of the Holy Spirit” – this is how his contemporary, St. Gregory of Nyssa, exaltedly speaks of St. Ephraim the Syrian. In reading his works from antiquity to the present day, Orthodox people striving for spiritual progress have found and continue to find an abundant source of edification. The publishing house "Siberian Blagozvonnitsa" is completing the publication of the works of the Syrian ascetic. This book includes St. Ephraim's interpretations of the Epistles of the Apostle Paul, which are part of the New Testament corpus, as well as an interpretation of the apocryphal third epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians. 8 tons Serg. P., 1895–1914.
