Synopsis

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. 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.
