Buy this book together with Ephrem the Syrian: Select Poems by George Kiraz
As a member of the Oxford Movement, Morris had a natural fascination with Eastern Christianity.  Using his linguistic skills to translate select works of St. Ephrem into English, he chose those that would create an impact on his fellow Englishmen in the nineteenth century.  These works are still treasured by western proponents of Eastern Christianity today.+The most important poet-theologian of the ancient Syriac Church, St. Ephrem wrote many works that are still in use today.  In this handsome volume, twenty of Ephrem the Syrian’s poems are arranged in compliance with the saint’s understanding of salvation history.  These poems, starting with paradise and running through the sacramental life of the church, are a proficuous introduction to the thought of Ephrem.Save $27.60

Morris’s life-long fascination with Eastern Christianity informed his choice to translate select works of St. Ephrem, one of the noted Fathers of the Syrian tradition. Included in this English translation are St. Ephrem’s Thirteen Rhythms on the Nativity, The Pearl (also known as Seven Rhythms on the Faith), Eighty Rhythms upon the Faith, Against the Disputers, and Three Rhythms concerning the Faith. Translated with care from their original Syriac into English, these works were being made available to many in England for the first time. As a tribute to the Saint, they contain some of his most beloved works.

John Brande Morris (1812-1880) was part of the Oxford Movement among Anglican clerics in the nineteenth century. A one-time Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, he left this post to become a Roman Catholic priest. He was a parish priest for the remainder of his career.
