About the Book

Three remarkable fifth-century Christians of the Syrian city of Edessa are profiled here: one a pauper by choice, and two bishops of opposing theological opinions.  • The 'Man of God', born to rank and privilege, identified completely with the poor, spending his days fasting and praying constantly. His quiet holiness deeply influenced.  • Rabbula, convert, monk and bishop, who championed the poor and battled injustice, but dealt harshly with those who held what he considered unorthodox beliefs. During the christological controversies    surrounding Nestorius, he supported Cyril of Alexandria and exiled. • Hiba, a supporter of the school of Antioch and an advocate of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Nestorius. He regarded Rabbula as a tyrant, yet, in the turbulent theological climate of the day, succeeded him as     bishop of Edessa, only to reap the fury of the cyrillian party.   Two undercurrents of fifth-century Christanity ebb and flow in these documents. The Life of Hiba reflects the intensity of the Nestorian-Cyrillian controversy, while The Life of the Man of God and The Life of Rabbula emphasize as the chief christian duty of the clergy the care of the poor. Whatever the Church has, it hold only as a steward for the poor.
