Summary: Accessible mystery.
Comment: Fr. Ephrem's translation into crisp, clear modern English makes one of the greatest of all Christian poets accessible to us. The kontakia, verse sermons chanted in the Liturgy, are spiritually profound, theologically insightful meditations on different events in the life of Christ. They are mystical and devotional poems of the highest order. The translator is a remarkable linguist with a subtle sense of the precise meaning of the Greek text and an ability to capture so well that it is hard to remember you are reading a translation. To read Romanos is to enter a new world, familiar figures spring to new life, familiar stories are seen from a new viewpoint, spiritual things are concrete - the Jesus of Romanos is the awesome Christ of the Christian East, a compelling, challenging presence. This book would make superb Lent reading.
